Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Love w/buttons,bows, and lace!!

Happy Thursday.  Today is the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and this month I am the hostess.  I have chosen the theme,  Love -with Buttons, Bows and Lace.  Here is what I created using Shy:

Shy was colored with copic markers and then cut out with a scalloped oval spellbinder die. The edges were sponged with distress ink. I used a piece of pretty pink textured cs for the base and mounted Shy on a piece of polka dot cs.   I prettied up the pink polka dot cs with a MS border punch on the right side and on the left side a band of lace covered at the seam with little girlie pink checked ribbon and bows.
A second band of ribbon was adorned with 3 star buttons.  The scallops on the right border were adorned with I-rock colored gems in pink.  They are much more glisteny (so not a word)  in real life.
I hope you will play along with us and be sure to stop by the Challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT creations. They are awesome as always!!!
Mo has some awesome new images in the store so be sure to check them out, I did!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Fancy Folds!

The Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge this week is awesome and the hostess is Paola who chose the theme, create a card with fancy folds.  Well, I don't know how fancy they are but I always like to make this card:

Wouldn't this little" Shy" be a perfect Thank you card?!?  I chose the dp first as I always use double sided cardstock for this project.  It is made from 1 8 1/2 X 11 sheet.  The instructions for this project are on SplitCoast Stampers  Resources section.  It is called a Diagonal Double pocket card.

Because I chose the dp first, which I seldom do, I colored Shy's little dress to match the seafoam green of the dp.  Instead of sponging around the outside of the die as I usually do I used two different color copic markers to create a golden ray behind Shy.  I like the way it turned out.  Did I mention she was colored with copic markers, I'm sure you were wonderfing LOL.

I used my new MS border punch for the loopy border on the edge of each diagonal fold, two white grosgrain ribbons with knot bows, a few brads to hold the pieces together and my sweet Shy angel is ready to present a tag message added to the pocket, or a gift card would fit nicely for a Birthday gift.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects, I'm anxious to see them all myself.  I haven't had a chance to peek yet... 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the store and see what Mo has added, and you just know you can't live without :).
