Isn't this young Victorian girl precious? I love the sullen look on her face. She definitely looks well taken care of!
This is how I made the card:
I started with a blank kraft greeting card that measures 5" by 7".
The background paper is from the Ki Vintage Charm Paper Pad by Hampton Art.
I used the digital image "Spoiled" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic sketch markers. This was my first attempt at coloring a girl with "big hair".
I distressed the edges of the cardstock with Tattered Rose and Tea Dye Distress Ink.
I cut a slit in the fold of the card and wrapped a piece of vintage lace around the front of the card. I used glue dots to apply the colored image to the front of the card.
I printed out the sentiment on kraft cardstock and attached it to the lower edge of the card (I'm not spoiled. just well taken care of.)
I finished the card by embellishing it with two gold stars in the upper corner.
I will enter this card in Mo's Challenge #248.

I recently read "By the Book: Stamping on Book Pages" by Sara Naumann. This was an article that was published in the Scrap and Stamp Art Magazine (June, 2012).
I was intrigued with the idea of stamping on old book pages so I decided to give it a try.
I used a page out of an old tattered and torn French book. I lightly painted the page with white acrylic paint. When the paint was dry, I covered the center of the page with plastic punchinella and rubbed light blue distresss ink over the book page.
When the page was completely dry, I stamped the dress form on the book page with a rubber stamp and jet black archival ink.
I mounted the book page to a piece of kraft cardstock. I punched the sides of the cardstock with the Martha Stewart "Cherish" border punch.
I attached a pice of dark pink lace to the mounted book page with two silver brads.
I used two pieces of patterned cardstock from the Recollections "Stitch in Time" Paper Pad for the background. I attached all the elements of the card to a blank card that was dark pink on the outside and white on the inside. The card measures 4" by 5".
I embellished the card with epoxy button stickers from K & Company. I like to use these stickers because they are flat and you don't have to pay extra postage when you send the card in the mail.
I finished the card with a pink chipboard butterfly that says "I love the person you are."

Easter is just a little over a week away. I made this cute baby with a bunny to use as an Easter card. I am entering this card in Mo's Digital Challenge #127 - "Bling It On" w/a Mo Image.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a pre-made pink cardstock card. I used a Cuddlebug embossing folder from the "Art Deco" set to dry emboss the front of the card.
(2.) I wrapped a piece of vintage lace around the inside edge of the card.
(3.) I punched three large scalloped circles from a piece of embossed Hei.di Grace Designs patterned paper.
(4.) I chose the digital stamp "Spit Happens" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic sketch markers.
(5.) I added some "bling" to the card with some pale pink faux pearls and a pink ribbon bow.

My sister has a birthday this week so I made this card to send her. I will be entering this card in Mo's Challenge #123 - "Lace" with a Mo Image.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I used a pre-made card that measures 5" by 6.5" for the base.
(2.) I cut a piece of fuchsia cardstock for the background.
(3.) I used the "Happy Birthday" embossing folder and dry embossed a piece of green cardstock with my Cuddlebug.
(4.) I used the digital image "A Big Woop" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic sketch markers and cut a circle around it. I used a black gel pen to put faux stitches around the edge of the circle.
(5.) I placed a piece of vintage handmade lace across the bottom of the card.
(6.) I embellished the card with four die-cut butterflies and a Tim Holtz "Wish" ticket.
