Love Peace Joy Mouse

 I have a Christmas card to share using the gorgeous Love Peace Joy Mouse from Mo's Digital Pencil.  This is my last Christmas card for the year and I'm so glad I started early and kept to my plan of making one a month.  It has made this time of year a lot less stressful :)

I coloured her with Copics and decided to experiment a little by using a sparkly silver gel pen for the wreath. I wasn't very happy with it at first but once I used a white gel pen over the top to highlight some areas I thought it looked nice.

The background was a gel press with stencil piece I had made ages ago while experimenting.  I finally found a good use for it but have no memory now of how I made it unfortunately.

Father Christmas Gnome

  I've made another card using the Father Christmas Gnome set from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I love colouring this gnome!    

I made a taller than usual card and used lemonade and persimmon Distress Oxide inks with a star stencil for the background.  I then used a white posca pen to make some splatters over the top.

The sentiment is from the Gnome 2022 set from Mo's Digital Pencil.

It's such a gorgeous image and lots of fun to colour too :)

Airplane

 I have a card to share using a gorgeous stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Airplane.

He was fun to colour and I kept the card clean and simple by masking the stamp and just adding some clouds using a stencil and Distress Oxides.

I decided to leave it without a sentiment so that I can use it for just about any occasion :)

Gnome 2022

 I have made a Christmas card this week with a truly wonderful stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Gnome 2022.  He is so beautifully drawn and has so much character!

I coloured him with Copics and cut him out and then had fun creating a background for him.

I used my gel press and brayered on some wisteria ink. Then I used some Brusho and water splats on it too.

For the bottom section I used the Pebble stencil from Lavinia with Walnut stain Distress Oxide.

I then stamped a Christmas sentiment repeatedly in the background and used a Lavinia stamp called Berry Wreath at the top.  I coloured some of the berries with a gold pen and some with white Posca pen.  I then splattered some water and white Posca over the whole panel.

Snowboard Santa

 I made another Christmas card for my stash this week.  This time I chose to use this fun stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Snowboard Santa.

I coloured Santa with copics, added some gold gel pen for his buckle and white posca pen for other accents and cut him out.  Then I created the background with distress oxide inks which I splashed with water and white posca and just tore some white card for the front snow hill.  I used foam tape behind Santa to give him more dimension.

Tantrums

 I have a card to share using an adorable stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Tantrums.

I kept the card very clean and simple to focus on the wonderful stamp with only the addition of some words I cut from a Dina Wakley Collage Words.

Rapunzel

I have a card to share today using a truly beautiful stamp called Rapunzel (Go Away) by Mo's Digital Pencil.

I made her for one of my daughters who is a big reader and she has long hair too (but not quite this long) :)

This did take me a long time to colour and I felt like I used almost every Copic colour I own but I really enjoyed it!!!

I stamped the kraft background using Speckled Egg distress oxide and an old text stamp from Stampin Up.

It looks so pretty! 

The Read, relax, repeat sentiment is from MFT.

Beach Baby

I have a very summery card to share this week.  Even though it's only the first week of Winter here I'm already looking forward to Summer!!! I've used a stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Beach Baby and I think it's very sweet.

I created the background using different papers from an old Glitz pad called Uncharted Waters.  It's very old and I've been hoarding it because I love it so much:)  I also used an old Whimsy stamp in the background and rectangle dies from CC Designs.

Santa's Little Helper

 I set myself a goal this year to make at least one Christmas card each month and luckily Mo's Digital Pencil have so many great ones to choose from. This one is an oldie but a goodie called Santa's Little Helper.

Mei with Peonies

I have a card to share today using the gorgeous Mei with Peonies stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I really love Peonies!  They are truly beautiful with their pretty pinks and seem so special too, I guess partly because they're only in bloom for a short while.  I have never had any because they're so expensive but at least I got to colour these ones and sweet Mei :)

Choir

 I have a Christmas card to share using a gorgeous stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Choir.

I love this image!

I decided to make this an almost one layer card (one piece on top of base card) which is something I hardly ever do.

I coloured the image with copics and then masked it so that I could create a background.

I used speckled egg distress oxide with an MFT cloud die and then used the same ink to stamp the Angels we have heard on high background stamp from CC Designs.

I used Pistachio and Citron distress oxides for the grass and then went over the top of this with copics to give it more of a grassy texture.

 I have a Christmas card to share today using the beautiful LovePeaceJoy Mouse stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Prince Edward Island

 I have a card to share using a beautiful stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Prince Edward Island.

I loved reading Anne of Green Gables when I was young and one of my daughters loved it too.  We also loved watching the Netflix series Anne with an E so I just had to get this stamp :)

I coloured Anne with Copics and used a bookmark die to cut her out.

I did a simple search for quotes from the book and used one of them on the card.  There are some really great quotes so I'm sure I will make more :)

Queen of the Kitchen

You may think I've gotten my holidays mixed up for this weeks post but I don't do Valentine's Day and I decided to make a Christmas card instead :)

I love the Queen of The Kitchen stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil and thought it would go wonderfully with this BoBunny Christmas paper I had in my stash.

I am actually making a conscious effort to get more Christmas cards done this year as I never seem to have enough and that means starting earlier.  Plus I love making them so its a win/win :)

I coloured her with Copics to match the paper and used an MFT sentiment stamp with it.

I used dies from Magnolia and CC Designs and a Sizzix embossing folder called Cross stitch.

Skating Gnome

 I used one of the cute Skating Gnomes from Mo's Digital Pencil to make something a little different this week. I made an interactive slider card so that the gnome can really skate across the ice.

I have had the Surf and Turf die by MFT for years. I really wanted it because I love slider cards but I've never actually used it!  So I got this skating gnome specially to try it out and I had fun with it and love the result :)

For the sentiment I used words from a stamp that I cut out and the "ice" is made with some old letter stickers I had lying around.  

I made the sky using Distress Oxides and coloured the gnome with Copics

Fairy Tuttle

This week I got to use one of the gorgeous new stamps from Mo's Digital Pencil.  

This is Fairy Tuttle, she is absolutely adorable isn't she?!  

I coloured her with copics, and had a lot of fun choosing all my favourite colours for her clothes. I also added a little Wink of Stella to her wings and cut her out.

Then I created the background.  I used my gel press and brayered on some Distress Oxide inks. Then I added water to some of the ink and splashed it on top, then took a print.

After that had dried I used a circle mask to create a moon, sponging Distress Oxide around the edge and then highlighting the edge a little with white gel pen.  

I used Dandelions, Field Grass and Mini Stars by Lavinia Stamps with an old PSX words stamp to create a scene. 

Then I added some ground at the bottom with Distress Oxides and also blended them around the whole panel. I added a little glitter to one of the dandelions too although you can't see that in the photo.
