Jenn created an amazing monochromatic village scene to celebrate the New Year. She was inspired by the fireworks in the Inspiration Board!

Jenn created a watercolor panel with shades of black and grey. She added the Stitched Fireworks to the sky, then added lots of bright color! She splattered Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold metallic ink for lots of sparkle.

Next, she colored the images from Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes in monochromatic shades of gray.

The bold greeting rings in the new year with Quinn’s 123s and Riley’s ABCs! She gold embossed “happy” then she added Chunky Glitter to the numbers!


Thank you so much for this brilliant inspiration, Jenn!

This is the last weekend for this challenge!
We will be back in 2023 with a new challenge! Happy New Year!

Mimi’s Fun Lift the Flap Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you are having fun with new Change the Scene challenge! It is a 3-week challenge that will be open until Sunday, September 4th at 11:59PM ET.

All of the auto specialties, mechanics, tire store and car wash, are really busy in Mimi‘s brilliant lift the flap card! When you open the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps windows, you get a glimpse of the activity at each business!

Mimi inked a pretty backdrop on the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps panel before she decorated each flap with a fun car theme! She combined Home for the Holidays cars, Smooth Sailing critters and Village Heroes fire station. She altered the little car to become the tow truck, adding the hook from Booyah and the package strings from Special Delivery Add-On. So clever!

Under the flaps you get a close up inside the tire store, the mechanics shop and the car wash! For this larger view she used the Car Critters car and critters from Berry Special, Scootin’ By and Merry Mice. To create the car wash, Mimi used the rolling pin from Baked with Love and the branch from Frosty Fairy Friends, how clever is that! Check out the supply list below for more images used in clever ways!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this brilliant Change the Scene card, Mimi!
