Project of the Month Blog Hop–Mo Manning

blog hop sm[1]



Its that time again and this Month's theme for the Blog Hop is use the colour turquoise on your Project and our host is Bea and that's is where the blog hop begins.


You should have landed on my blog from Kerttu We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way.


The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit.


For my image this month I have used Melia on her Shell Phone and it can be purchased from Mo’s Digital Pencil Too


The background paper is from my own stash and I punched out the extra circles and distressed the edges of it and added them with dimensional foam pads to look like bubbles. Melia was coloured with copic markers then stickles added to the mermaid tail, I used nestibilities circles to cut out Melia and the scalloped circle and wrapped a pretty satin ribbon around the card to add a bit of elegance.

Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast at Tiffany's

I always have a big problem when it comes to Natalie's (daughter) Birthday from a very early age Natalie was a typical Tomboy, no girlie clothes or likes, in fact she was a typical lad, so the usual Daughter cards just don't cut the mustard with her, the things that she does like is music, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe.
So I got out my Safmat by Letraset and got to work on this card and because Safmat is a translucent film that you print on it is ideal for letting the colour of the undercard show through so I ended up with everything matching on this black and white image from the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Photographs print perfectly on Safmat with no bleed of the ink so you end up with a very crisp image.
I teamed it with a DCWV flocked designer paper, black card and a EK Success ribbon border punch and a pretty dotted ribbon.
