Mo's dp 2 challenge dt

running behind schedule so it must mean that i am back to crafting full time, lol.  My kids broke school yesterday for the end of the year and summer vacation so it just means i have a lot of distractions.
for my card this week i am using Angel with puppy (c) available in Mo's store, i got this image last year from Mo's and i just loved using it, cant get enough of Mo's artwork and my cards using her images are always so well recieved.  I colored my Angel with copics and gave her wings a good going over with stickles start dust.  This paper is from Joy crafts, but we also have a local company in SA who call themselves Upikit using the same papers, go figure?  Our challenge on Mo's challenge blog is tags and banners, well i dont have a die for banners so i just cut my own.  I stitched around the edges of my papers for added interest, added some rhinestones to the corners.
No card of mine feels complete without a few flowers, so i added them to the corners, these flowers are available from WOC, but locally in SA i supply them too, cant bear the price of postage from Uk so for me it just makes sense to have something of equal value locally.  The ribbon slider is one of those cheap and nasty plastic ones, but i do think it looks quite classy with the ribbon strung acorss my card.
Do go and check out the inspiration the rest of the team have for you on the challenge blog.

  15. Your card is gorgeous, Paola! I love the soft colours you have used and your image is so beautiful! Hugs Delphine xx
    PS: The colour combo was V04, 06, 09... I think! I have never used it, I usually do V09, 17, 15, 12 and also for a bleuish purple BVs as in tomorrow's card. I don't know if that helps!
