My Fave Mo "Make" of 2014

Hey there, my lovelies! Welcome, once again, to my little corner of Blogland!! And Happy Holidays!!

Guess what? There's another super fun challenge happening over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Our challenge for this fortnight is for each of us to take a look at all the projects we've created in 2014 using one (or more) of Mo Manning's images . . . and then select a FAVORITE!! Whoa . . . that's a tall order! I love ALL of my Mo "makes"!! This card, though, is one of my faves! You may remember seeing it . . . just a few weeks ago, in fact! This is the card I made using Mo's "Fairy Christmas" digi set available HERE.

The following post first appeared here on my blog on 11/27/14. Enjoy!

*****

I used all three of the Fairy Christmas images and merged them! And then . . . I added lots and lots and LOTS of glitteriness!!

I decided to do something a little different . . . I decided to make a "Shadow Box" card (you can find an easy tutorial HERE) . . . but then I took it a step further and made my "shadow box" into an easel card!! (I needed more space for more and more and more glitter!!)

My card "recipe"

Fir tree die: Magnolia

Pearls & white cardstock: My stash
Embossing folder: Embossalicious
Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds: Stampin' Up
Snowflake punch: Martha Stewart
Snowflake edge punch: Stampin' Up

Copics & color pencils

And a side-ish view . . .

*****

So . . . now it's your turn. But first . . . please head on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog HERE to check out the fabulous 2014 cards made by my talented Design Teamies! Then, please join us! Just upload a fave Mo card or 3-D project that you created in 2013.

Oh, oh, oh . . . and don't forget, Mo is awarding (selected at random) one $5.00 shopping spree at her online store for every 25 challenge participants! What an easy and fun way to get some new Mo images, right?!

Okey dokey . . . that's it for me! Sending much love and joy to you and yours this holiday season! And . . . here's to a very safe and prosperous New Year for us all!! Warm hugs . . . until next year!
