Belle doesn't look too Shabby

Welcome.  It's time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the challenge (#194) is "Shabby Chic". When I saw this challenge I had to ask the other DT members what constituted "Shabby Chic".  Once I had some idea, I tried to incorporate the elements.  This was a tough one for me.  I don't usually put a lot of stuff on my projects.  Hope I did okay.

Goldilocks

This week's challenge at C.R.A.F.T. challenges is "Queen for a day/Fantasy/Bling it up/Make believe".  It is being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs. When I saw the challenge I knew the "Goldilocks Honey" would be perfect.  Isn't her hair something. I love coloring all the SSD images.

Birdie House

This week at the Hambo Hoedown, the image was "Birdhouse Estate". It was a great image to color.  Also the challenge was to add "Scallops". If you haven't played along before, check it out at http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/.  Here is what I created.

Leaves-YG03, YG06

Tree-E11, E13, E15

Birdhouses-BG01, BG05, BG09, YG03, YG06

Sentiment-Hambo Stamps digital

Faux stitching-Le Pen Oriental Blue

Clouds-Scrappy Cat Blueberry Blast ink

I colored the image with my Copics and then masked off the tree and birdhouses with Inkadinkado masking paper.  I cut a stencil and inked the clouds in the background. Cut out around the leaves and popped up the image on foam squares. Then popped up another pair of colored birdhouses on foam squares.  I punched the edge of the front flap with the scallop punch. And punched another piece of green paper to show on the edge. I colored a stripe of Oriental blue on the green strip to show through the holes in the top flap.

Hope you like what I've done and love to read your comments.
