My lovely teamies at Everybody Art Challenge are back from their summer vacation and we have a new challenge theme starting today which is "Anything Goes". Do come and play along and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.
Today, for my birthday card, I have used the beautiful "Belle in Summer" image from Mo’s Digital Pencil which is available in her shop here. I love these images of women Mo drew for us all last year. There is a wonderful variety to chose from here.
I decided not to use Belle in her entirety. She is a full length curvy woman in summer attire but I used just her face and upper body, coloured with my Copics and double framed within a diecut square overlapping an embossed frame. I encircled Belle with a variety of hand coloured die cut and punched flowers and leaves and added a stamped ticket from my sentiment stamps. If you are looking for inspiration to use your own Mo Manning images, check out one of my previous posts, I regularly post links to great sites where you can view cards made with her images as well as links to where to post your own Mo makes, in addition to details about her Patreon scheme.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:

I love how you colored in that image. The gray hair ROCKs. I also like how you paired the image with the die cut flowers. They are a perfect frame. Thank you for playing with us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.

I love the way you have put this card together and especially the way the die cut flowers and leaves match the ones around her hat. Thank you for sharing with us.
