Dear Diary Elli

 I have a card to share today using the beautiful Dear Diary Elli stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Cupcake Thief

 I have a sweet card to share today using a Mo's Digital Pencil stamp called Cupcake Thief.

I have loved this stamp for years and I'm so happy that I finally have it.  It was so much fun to colour :)

Val

I made a birthday card for my "arty" daughter with the gorgeous Val stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Val includes the painted heart image in colour, while Val is black and white so you can have fun colouring her (but save some time on the heart) :)

After colouring her I added some paint splats using a paintbrush with Distress Oxides and a little water.

I actually don't own a red Distress Oxide (shocking, I know!) but I used Ripe Persimmon which was actually a very close match.  I guess this could depend on your printer and ink though?  I also splattered on some Lemonade Oxide with it.

Winter Raccoon

 I decided to make a start on my Christmas cards for this year with the super cute Winter Raccoon by Mo's Digital Pencil.

I coloured him with Copics, cut him out and placed him on the background I created.

I masked the bottom of the card to make snow and then blended Lilac, Speckled Egg and Peacock Distress Oxide inks and used Walnut Distress Oxide around the edge.

I then flicked on some water and white Posca pen.

The tree stamp is from Lavinia stamps with Twilight Versa fine Claire and the sentiment is an old Stampin Up one.

Little Punk

I have a birthday card to share today using a wonderful stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Little Punk.  I love this image and it comes with this fun sentiment and a 'Happy Birthday' in the same font which I used on the inside of the card.

I coloured her with copics which was fun, ripped the side panels in true punk style and luckily found some grungy background paper to complete the look:)

Irish Setter Clover

I have a card to share today using the gorgeous Irish Setter Clover from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Who could resist this puppy?!!!

After colouring the stamp I die-cut it using a stitched square die and then cut off one side.

For the background, I stamped onto the card itself using a Plaid stamp and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide.

The sentiment stamp and matching die are from a Dreamerland Crafts set.

I think this stamp could be used for St. Patrick's Day or for just about any occasion.

More Tulips

 I've made a card this week with a very pretty stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called More Tulips.  I love all kinds of tulips but decided on a big bunch of pink ones.

Say It Aint So

 I have a cute clean and simple card to share today using a wonderful image from Mo's Digital Pencil called Say It Aint So.  The sentiment is included and I love the way it looks with the stamp.  I haven't decided what I'll use this card for yet but I think it would be a great birthday card as in "I can't believe you're (21, 30, 40, 50 etc) or for a going away, leaving job or retirement card.  It's so versatile!

Wiz

I have a card to share today using the amazing Wiz stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have admired this stamp for such a long time but felt a bit worried about doing it justice.  I finally plucked up the courage to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I love how it turned out! :)

I used a combination of B and BV copics to colour his robe and hat and I really like the effect it gave.

I also used a sparkly silver gel pen to draw over the top of the lightning and the sentiment is from Penny Black.
