Mo's Duck Face

This has got to be a new Mo favourite - Duck Face! I do have to admit I was quite nervous of the hair, and while not anywhere near the standards of some of those amazing colourists in blog land, I am reasonably happy with the results - phew! 

And of course you have to use the right sentiment and I thought this Whimsy stamp and die combo fitted the bill perfectly.  (You do also get a couple of sentiments with the image - bonus!!) I've also used a couple of Cheery Lynn flourishes, a Tim Holtz film strip die and a Martha Stewart doily punch (which seems to have given up the ghost- grrrrrr!) 

The flowers were punched with an EK Success die and finished off with some gingham Candi centres.

I'm off to see Paolo Nutini after work tonight, with my sister,  I love his new album so am over the moon to be going - thanks Louise - love you!!

The Tramp by Mo Manning

I made this card for my niece's boyfriend's 21st birthday  over the weekend.  We had a whirlwind trip up to the Lake District actually, to celebrate their joint 21sts in the form of a Great Gatsby Party (pics at the end), which was a great success.  So I thought The Tramp would be just perfect for Sean's card.

Love these corner sentiment dies from Die-Versions but they don't show up too well against the papers I've used (Websters Pages) hence the close up.

The Charlie Chapline motif is cut from a Graphic 45 pad and the other dies I've used are Party Music from Memory Box, Film Clapperboard die from Whimsy Stamps and a film strip die from Tim Holtz.

You can find The Tramp here in Mo's store.

And here are a few pictures of the big day:

My two girls with our great-nephew Sam. 

Son Harry didn't go for the obvious but went as the invitation with a scene from the Great Gatsby 

Hubby Nick as Elliot Ness thinking he was enforcing prohibition! 

And the birthday boy and girl themselves, Sean and my niece, Lily! 

Broked Boy C - Mo's Digital Pencil

I've got another Mo Manning cutie to show you today - this is Broked b c (boy curly haired version) - he looks so sweet, don't you think?

I've coloured him with my Promarkers and then teamed him up with some paper scraps from Stampin Up and a Brenda Walton pad.  The train panel is from a Websters Pages set but can't remember which one!  The plane die is Paper Trey Ink and the sentiment on the cloud is from a Krafting Kimmie set.  The ticket sentiments are from Whimsy Stamps.

Thanks for popping in - I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!

Sketch N Stash Challenge 120

Morning - today's card is for our new challenge over at Sketch N Stash where we are using Sketch no 16 from our past catalogue, and we have an optional theme of Monchromatic cards.

I've used the fabulous Mr Fixit from Mo's Digital Pencil, for my son, Harry's, birthday tomorrow.  I don't think he looks on my blog so hopefully he won't see this!

Before his accident he was working at Pinewood as a prop maker for films, so I used this theme to inspire my card for him!  I hope it will inspire him to get back on his feet and get back to doing what he loved!

I've used Graphic 45 papers, Tim Holtz stash such as the film ribbon and the big film reel die cut, and Whimsy stash for the clapper board, and the wording in the stamped film reel border.

The rest of the bits and pieces are from stash with the newest thing being the stamp and just about everything else being at least  6 months old! 

Our sponsor for this fortnight's challenge is
