Where Ya Goin' ?
This week Mo's Challenge is to make a card or project with the theme of traveling or other cultures using a least one of Mo's images. Mo has many images that would work beautifully with this theme!
I've used "Dream" which is also available in a girl version.
Inside: "No! It's a high-flying wish for your special day! Happy Birthday!"
I really like the way the coloring on this turned out. I felt the card didn't need any embellishments because of the background I made.
I love using up scraps of designer paper because I generate a lot of it! This pattern is a great way to use odd shaped pieces, and the design highlights the image nicely. I cut a piece of computer paper 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and drew a dot with lines that radiated from that point. Then I cut out the pieces of computer paper and used them as patterns to cut out the scraps. The scraps were then glued onto 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" card stock, leaving an 1/8 th inch reveal.The last step was to stitch around all the pieces. I'm sure I'll be doing this again!
Images: "Dream" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Computer-generated sentiment
Tools: Copics, Prismacolor pencil, Oval punch, Sewing machine
Papers: SU! Bordering Blue, Bashful Blue, Neenah smooth white, Assorted DP scraps
I hope you'll join us in Mo's Challenge for a chance to win a gift certificate to Mo's shop!
I'm always happy when you visit!

I have a large quilting background and love how you did the background for this card. I think I'll be trying this for a card soon and see if I can use up some scraps.
