Mo's dp 2 challenge dt

not much new here my friends, here i am late again for our challenge on Mo's digital pencil challenge blog, this week i have a really good excuse "Its my birthday"
so i have been at the hairdressers most of the day and clean forgot to do my post before i set out for my appointment today.
Ok now our fabulous challenge this week is "the fabric of our lives"  Boy was this a chllenge for me, expecially as my mojo has taken a bit of a knock being out of crafting for soooo long and only now getting back into the swing of things.  Well despair not!  i found this fabulous sheer crinolene whch i thought would make great flowers.

They wouldnt punch out and i nearly broke the punch trying, so i cut them with a few nestie dies, pierced a hole into the centre with my piercing tool and heated them with the heat gun, they curled beautifully once the heat hit them and then i just popped a pearl brad in the centre.  Then i decided to add some dry brushed puff paint to the flowers which really did it for me.
the image used is a newish one from Mo, snow day available here, colored with my trusty copics and added lots of stickles to highlight the snow.  the paper is old from MME, but a fab Christmas paper and its nearly finished.
thats it for me today, i am off to have dinner with my family, and have my cake and eat it! lol

  13. I sooo missed you on your birthday. Today the girls were home and I was alone with them for quite a bit. Can't wait to see what you did with your hair! Well now....your Mojo is obviously back because this card is perfectly ADORABLE!! I have this image, but alas no time to color it! Love your flowers!! Old crinoline eh? Guess I better check out the second hand shops here looking for something like that! In spite of your punch issues, they turned out to be gorgeous in the end! So, so creative! Love you my friend...Barb
