You'll regret this...

Birthday Mouse by Mo Manning

New challenge at 613 Ave C with a focus on SPRING - so I have opted here to focus on Spring colors.  The DT has some wonderful pieces for inspiration and I encourage you to find time to join the group who are playing along!  You can use the link above to get all the details of the challenge.

• This is one of Mo Manning's images that I have sculpted using three layers.  
• It was colored with Copics. 
• The pink strip matches the pink stars in the DP and has been run thru an E-folder of large dots by We R Memory Keepers.  
• The lace is from stash, as is the star sequin with the tiny seed pearl on top of her party hat.  
• The sentiments are new - the one on the front is from Dylusions by Ranger [elevated on foam tape] and the inside sentiment is from Stampendous.   
• Wink of Stella was applied to the stars on the frosting.

Winter is a hoot!

"A Winter Owl Too" provided by Squigglefly

The Color, Sights & Sounds of Winter!  That is the latest challenge at 613 Ave. C.  Winter Colors mean for me the bare browns, snow whites and the sky blues, the Sights bring to mind the wool scarves and hats and the bare branches of the trees, and finally the Sounds of the winter birds singing or hooting.  To represent those sounds, I embossed sheet music on 2 of the three layers using a Cuttlebug folder.

So, think about how you would interpret this theme - and go see what the 613 DT have done with it - HERE.
Definitely a fun challenge!

TECHNIQUE

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources 

will be found below under “Supplies”.]

The focal image has been printed twice, colored with Copics, fussy cut, sculpted and layered with foam tape to add height and dimension.  The top two panels were embossed and all the edges inked with Distress Inks - they were then mounted on foam tape for elevation.  Small brown buttons were the final embellishments.
