Hi! It’s Wednesday, which means one thing around here: time for another Mo make. I’ve got sooo many wonderful Mo images that I haven’t yet had a chance to use. I’ve decided to remedy that, and first up is Aislinn (yes, I’m going alphabetically, saves me the trouble of having to choose). She’s from the 6 Baby Fairies set. I think it looks like she’s flying, so I’ve made a very simple scene drawing in some clouds around her with my Copics.
I used a word die from Kort & Godt on the bottom of my colored piece, diecut it a second time in craft foam, and glued the two diecuts in place, making sure to keep the center pieces of the Rs and the A, so I could pop them back in.
The card is a standard top folding A2 card made from Papertrey Ink Stamper’s Select White cardstock. It’s my favorite white cardstock of all the different ones I have tried. It’s bright white, heavy weight and folds beautifully. What more could a girl ask for?
I stamped and white heat embossed part of a Norsk Stempelblad AS sentiment on a small strip of X-Press It. Before stamping, I colored my strip with one of the pink markers from my image, so my pinks would match. I finished the card off with a few white crystals from Papirdesign.
Back to the card. I colored up my image with Copics and added some grass and a few freehand flowers to ground her. I added tons of Glossy Accents to the balloons, making them super shiny.
I like making my cards simple, so I put her on a standard A2 sized card base made from Raspberry Fizz cardstock from Papertrey Ink, before adding a scrap of a tiny Doodlebug doily, a couple of strips of patterned paper from Maja Design and Papirdesign diecut with dies from My Favorite Things and a couple of tiny staples.
The sentiment is from a stamp set from Norsk Stempelblad AS, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. I added a couple of enamel dots, the pink ones are from Papirdesign, the teal from My Mind’s Eye. I added some divine twine and tied it in a bow as my last finishing touch. And that’s my card for today.
I like plenty of white space on my cards, so I kept most of the card pretty simple. I colored my image with Copics, and I must admit, the colors blend very easily on this cardstock, maybe even too easily. It was kind of difficult to get any real contrast, even though I used some very dark and very light colors to get as much contrast as I could. I would also say that the colors look very different on this cardstock compared to the X-Press It blending card I normally use. The skin tones, in particular, look a lot more blue on this one – not really the look I was going for, I didn’t want her looking sick. I used a lot of E13, but it really doesn’t look that way. Just something to be aware of, I guess.
Since my plan to do a one layer card really didn’t work, I decided to go all out and add an embellishment cluster. I found patterned paper scraps in colors that coordinated well with my image and went to town. I also added a few pieces that I had left over on the inside.
There’s plenty of manufacturers represented in that tiny cluster. The patterned paper with the sentiment (“You’re the world’s best” in Norwegian, stamp from Norsk Stempelblad AS) is from Melissa Frances, the yellow one below it is from Chatterbox, the light blue underneath that is from Inkido, and the pink one that you see a little bit of on either side of the banners is from American Crafts. Two of the banners are scraps from Pion Design, the pale pink is from Maja Design, and the one with the yellow stripes is the same digital Project Life paper that I used at the bottom. I’ve also used a brad from Kaisercraft, a yellow enamel dot from My Mind’s Eye and a pink enamel dot from Papirdesign, in addition to a small paper doily from Doodlebug Design. In other words – a real mishmash, but I think it kind of works. Oh, and I brought out my sewing machine for that stitching detail at the top.
Hei og hopp! Dagens kort er publisert i aprilnummeret av Ett trykk, i Inspirert av-artikkelen som vi har begynt med i år. Jeg lot meg inspirere av 
Motivet jeg har brukt er 
Jeg har satt panelet med det fargelagte motivet på 3D-teip, og pyntet bak med mønsterark. Det stripete gule er et digitalt Project Life-ark, det turkise med stjerner på er fra Papirdesign og det grønne er fra Imaginisce. Dottene jeg har satt på kommer også fra Papirdesign.
Jeg har brukt ark fra Sofiero-kolleksjonen til Maja Design på alle tre prosjektene mine. På papirposen har jeg brukt dies fra Rayher til å lage vimpelen og kanten øverst på posen. En minikakeserviett fra Doodlebug fungerer som pynt på forsiden, og jeg har stemplet et lite stempel fra Papirdesign med Papertrey Ink Autumn Rose blekk og satt på en pebble fra Norsk Stempelblad AS. Jeg har også lurt en krystallgren på undersiden og pyntet veldig enkelt med noen sommerfugler fra Wycinanka.
Esken er laget etter brettemal som du finner i februarbladet, og jeg har pyntet den veldig enkelt med bånd fra Papertrey Ink i samme farge som stempelputen, litt rosa twine, en liten tag stanset ut med en die fra Papertrey Ink med en bitteliten stemplet tekst fra Norsk Stempelblad AS og en liten sommerfugl.
Over til kortet. Jeg har skrevet ut Mo Manning-motivet 
Veldig forsiktig har jeg stanset ut ordet klem fra det fargelagte panelet med alfabetdies fra Memory Box og satt hele det fargelagte panelet på 3D-puter.
Til slutt limte jeg på et banner av mønsterarket med en stemplet tekst fra Norsk Stempelblad AS, stemplet med Papertrey Ink Plum Pudding blekk og satte på de samme sommerfuglene som jeg brukte på papirposen og den lille esken, for å få en rød tråd gjennom alle prosjektene.
I’m planning on giving this card to my nephew. He turns ten in March, and he loves doing experiments, so I think the image is perfect.
I colored my image with Copics and added Glossy Accents to his glasses, the test tube and the laboratory flask.
I cut my panel down slightly and glued it to a topfolding note card made from Papertrey Ink Limeade Ice cardstock. I stamped some bubbles using the same color ink (the bubbles are really confetti from a birthday stamp set from PTI), and a banner with a Norsk Stempeblad AS sentiment on some foam adhesive. Behind the banner I put a tiny bit of a digital piece of paper from Cathy Zielske, and finished off my card with a few Papirdesign enamel dots.
I mirrored my image in Photoshop, so her face is turning right, colored her with Copics, cut her slightly smaller and put her on a card base covered with Maja Design patterned paper.
I added a couple of Norsk Stempelblad AS sentiments, one under a pebble and one on a banner, and embellished my card very lightly with bling from Papirdesign and a litte bit of a doily. I also embossed my dandelions with Hologram embossing powder, but it’s kind of hard to see in these photos.
I wanted to keep the focus on my image without covering it up too much, so I decided on a strip of vellum with an embossed sentiment going across the card. I added a second Norsk Stempelblad AS sentiment, heat embossed it on that Orange Zest cardstock, and popped it up using some foam squares. I added three Papirdesign enamel dots to finish off my card.
I colored 
Jeg har brukt motivet 
Jeg har tatt Wink of Stella på sløyfa, men det syns dessverre ikke på disse bildene. Det som syns er at jeg har stemplet et stempel fra B04-platen til Norsk Stempelblad AS med Blueberry Sky blekk. Jeg har til slutt satt på to blå krystaller fra Papirdesign som pynt, og det er hele kortet.
