Mo's Challenge # 114



Punches and Dies

 We were to use punches, dies, or a combination of both on our cards and projects this week. It wasn't a problem for me as I have tons of both!



 This card uses Mo's "Snow Day"which was offered as a rare free image, and is now in her shop! Isn't she adorable?!
  
Images: "Snow Day" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment

Tools: Copics, MS Snowflake and Drippy Goo punches,  Cuttlebug with Nesties, Mounting tape, Dimensionals

Papers: SU! Cool Caribbean, Razzleberry,  Neenah smooth white, Basic Grey DP

Embellishments: Fabric trim, Stickles, Pearl Dew Drops

******************


I love these images! I merged the image of the three carolers with the lamp post.  I think they make the perfect Christmas card. This card is larger than my usual cards....about 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Don't look too closely at my doodling! LOL!


Tools: Copics, Prismacolor pencils, White gel pen, Thin black marker, Cuttlebug with Parisian dies and embossing folder

Papers: SU! Real Red and Garden Green, Neenah smooth white, Basic Grey DP
