Mo's Challenge # 137

How's the Weather?

Mo's Challenge this week is to make a card or project that has something to do with the weather. Use at least one of Mo's images in your design. She has many wonderful  images that would be perfect!

I love this image! She's just so much fun to color! I didn't have brads the right color, so I colored them with Copics.

The "Man" Cold

I Want Mommy!

Many of the women I know say that their guys are impossibly helpless whenever they are the least bit ill. I hear them complain that they turn into little boys and want to be waited on . Mo drew this image with that in mind. Notice the overly large robe! Fortunately, I don't have that problem.....my husband is very self-sufficient and takes care of his own needs.

I colored this image without looking for DP first, which is the usual way for me. Imagine my surprise when I found a paper that was a perfect match! When I found ribbon and flowers that also match, I could hardly believe my luck!

Image: "Needs Mummy" from Mo's Digital Pencil , Digital word art (?)

Tools: Copics, Corner rounder, Glue dots, Nellie Snellen embossing leaf punch set

Papers: SU! Barely Banana, Buckaroo Blue, Only Orange, Basic Grey "Wags & Whiskers" DP, Neenah smooth white

Embellishments: Prima daisies, Grosgrain ribbon, Buttons, Button brad

I hope everyone is well at your house!

Mo's Challenge # 67

Warm All Over!

It's been blasted cold all over the USA recently, and I think we could all use a little warmth! As hostess for  Mo's Challenge this week, I'm asking for cards or projects using a warm color palette of reds, oranges, and yellows  with a neutral. 

I've used Mo's "Darn It!" for my card. I think it will make a perfect masculine Get Well card.

 

The inside says: "Sorry to hear that you're not well. Hope you're on the mend very soon."

Images: "Darn It!" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Hand-written sentiment

Tools: Copics, Prismacolor pencil,  Martha Stewart Zig-zag punch, Oval punches, Cuttlebug with PTI Button die, Mounting tape, Distressing tool, Needle

Papers: SU!Marigold Morning, Only Orange, Neenah smooth white, Basic Grey DPs

Embellishments: Natural hemp

So, bring on the warmth and make a card or project using one of Mo's great images for a chance to win!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little of This and That

Variety is the Spice of Life

  

I've been trying out some new digital images lately. This Raggedy Ann and Andy is public domain artwork that I found on a coloring book site. I'm not sure, but I think this was drawn by Johnny Gruelle, Ann's original creator. I've always loved Raggedy Ann, and when I saw this vintage image, I knew it would make a great Get Well card. The sentiment was computer-generated. The inside says, "Hope this finds you on the mend!"

DP: Basic Grey

CS: SU! Brilliant Blue & PTI White

Punches: Martha Stewart. Leaf, Cosmos, Branch, Hydrangea, and Border-SU! Circles

Accessories:Tiny Buttons, Gold Wire, Grosgrain Ribbon, Pearl Cabochons, Mounting Tape, Glue Dots

Colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils

The very tiny Raggedy Ann & Andy were made by Gail Wilson, a New Hampshire doll maker. (I bought them at the League of New Hampshire Craft Fair several years ago and never told my husband how much I paid for them! Sssh!) They are sitting in a miniature hand-made Adirondack chair from my collection of miniature chairs.

Sassy Cheryl

 

 This card uses an image from Sassy Cheryl's. 

  Several of my fellow members on Mo's Design Team are also on Chery's team, so I thought I'd try out a one of her images. I have to say that I wasn't interested in them at all until I saw them colored up! Those girl's do a great job with them! Now there are a few that I'd like to have.

DP: Basic Grey 

CS: SU! Almost Amethyst, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, and  PTI White

Punches: MS Branch and Fence Border

Accessories: Prima Daisies, Brads, Plaid Ribbon, Nesties.

Colored using Copics & Prismacolor Pencils
