It's time for another Mo's challenge. I have not stamped in 6 weeks and I can sure tell. It takes awhile to get your groove back. This week over at Mo's Elaine is hosting the challenges. This week she chose retro 30s, 40s, or 50s as our theme. I chose
Mummu and Virginia. She is available over at Mo's Digital Pencil. When I was a little girl the lady that watched my sisters and I taught me to knit. I have recently started knitting again thanks to my friend Peggy.
I colored them with copics and added just a little bit of prisma pencil to add dimension.
So get out those creative juices and join us.. We also have a new team member so please give a warm welcome to....Pat Frank

Here is last week's challenge card.. I was gone and not able to post it.
This image is Bella and Bronte Makin Cards.. It was our first challenge image that Mo created.. It is available at Mo's Digital Pencil HERE.
Doesn't look like you missed a stitch (of mojo) with these little gems! Love the knitting image and the little swatch of yarn in the corner. Hope your recovery continues!

Both cards are adorable, Dawn! It sure doesn't look like you had any trouble getting back into the groove of making gorgeous cards! Such cute images and fabulous coloring! Hope you are feeling better and better!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Dawn, it is sooo nice to be back in the blogging world after the holidays...I have missed your gorgeous creations..These are just darling, LOVE LOVE your coloring, your designs and these MO images are FANTASTIC!!!! Have a lovely day sweets!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely image that knitting scene is. I like the warm and homey colors and papers for the background.
ReplyDeleteThe second card is fun and bright in purple and white.
Oooh Dawn such fabulous cards and your colouring is terrific. Hope you are beginning to recover now. Hugs Annette x
ReplyDeleteYour talent is endless, Dawn! I want to come to your house so you can teach me to knit, hehe. Great cards, my friend. . .those images are just precious ;D
ReplyDeleteOh, they are both so wonderful, Dawn! Happy knitting to you! (Knitting is one craft I never did.)
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn, I had to come and peek at your new creations. (I remember something about stopping by here yesterday...lol) Anywho! I love your awesome scene. I love knitting too. My mom thought me how to, but she was the ultimate knitter, she went from cable stitch, to rib stich to the simple knitting for slippers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dawn, your cards seem to make me reminisce and Mo's images are so perfect for that.
Hugs, keep up the fabulous cardmaking craft though...peggyxo
So beautiful, Dawn! I love your "retro" choice. Your coloring looks gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn...I love this card!! It so reminds me of my Gramma...she tried so hard to teach me to crochet...but my hands and brain just didn't want to cooperate!! I know what you mean about "getting out of practice"...happens to me when I take just a couple of days off...but, believe me, you have NOT lost your touch or your mojo, sweetie!! Your layout, DPs, & yarn ribbon are perrrrfect for Elaine's "Retro" theme...and your coloring is GORGEOUS!! And thanks soooooo much, Dawn, for the warm welcome. I'm crazy thrilled to be joining you and the other uber talented and creative ladies on the team!!
ReplyDeleteHugs...Pat Frank
You have got major mojo going on here! I am inspired by you again! I knew it...the new year was going to bring some wonderful creations from you! The top image is totally a reminder of me and my grandmother! I love to knit. I actually just got back into it too! Must be the cold weather! I just love the colours you used in the second card! PERFECTION DAWN!
ReplyDeleteWell, your colouring is as fabulous as ever and I love both cards. Darling image on the first one. It's been nice to see knitting coming back a bit again. Love the girl and the dog - so like animals to be right in the middle of what you are doing. No lack of mojo seen from this end, though I totally empathize with your comment after time away from stamping LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn
ReplyDeletewow the first one is so precious.
Love the second card, very joyful and the colour combo is one of my favorite.
Lovely cards Dawn, especially love Mummu and Virginia. Brings back such nice memories of my nan teaching me how to knit.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just adorable.. You do such a wonderful job coloring :)
ReplyDeleteKnitting images catch my attention as a very dear friend is an avid and artistic knitter....so I try to make her cards with a knitting connection
ReplyDeleteboth cards have your signature master coloring....awesome
Dawn, Love both of your cards. Glad you are on the mend. Beautifully colored as always. Love the retro card with the newsprint, perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteAs always - amazing coloring!!
ReplyDeleteI could stare at your little pieces
of art for hours... You never cease to amaze me!
Happy new year:)
Welcome back. I am so happy you are healing and heading toward a clean bill of health. Your coloring always blows me away.....
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had no trouble jumping back in the saddle. These are AWESOME as always. You never cease to amaze me. Welcome back!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness both cards are adorable Dawn! I don't think you lost much of your groove! I have spent 2 days organizing ribbon in my craft room!!! Can you believe that?!!! It's done though so now on to the next project! LOL! See you soon!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like you've lost your groove at all. They are both wonderfully done. I love that you used the yarn as your bow for the knitting card. It's perfection.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Dawn, as always! I think I have to get that Mummu image. It's one of the only ones I don't have! Love those red heart buttons on the hounds-tooth print.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are quite delightful and beautifully colored! Love the details from paw prints, yarn, double ribbons w/bling and the typed background paper!
ReplyDeleteNo 'groove' missing here, Dawn! These are fabulous. Your coloring is absolute perfection!
ReplyDeleteahhh, what stunning colouring and the cards are so stylish and pretty. I'm especially fond of the yarn bow on the first one!
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been out of loop for so long, it's been more a hospital than a house here for almost a month!
