Oh, dear! I joined in a challenge at Stamp TV for the Mix It Up Monday challenge to do a Shabby Chic card with an envelope to match. The envelope was the easiest as I am not normally one to do shabby chic designs. Not sure if I pulled it off or not. I will let you be the judge! LOL
The floral image I used is from the Gina K. Designs Heart Blooms duo set. I colored it with alcohol ink markers and then fussy cut it out. The background for the flowers is some textured card stock from Die Cuts With a View and it was dry embossed using the Cuttlebug Flourish Frame folder design. With sandpaper I removed enough of the embossing to show the cream color which was placed between the layers of the pink colored card stock. I added some lace, pearls and a ribbon along with the popped flowers and put it all on a ivory base card. Again, the bow was done with my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker. I would be lost without that tool!
Oh, and if I should suddenly not be posting anymore it may be because my computer will be either in repair or awaiting replacement. Some days it doesn't seem to work very well. I have had it for seven years so guess I should not complain that much. But I hate getting used to new techy things. In fact, just acquired an iPad recently and that has been a learning curve for me as well. But I think I have mastered enough to probably still do some internet things.
Well, thanks again for looking and hope your day is going great.
This blog is about my card making, but now and then I might add a few other things as well. Please read the Privacy Policy at the top of my blog. Also any handmade items I display are mine exclusively and so therefore do not publish them as your own without my permission. I would be honored though if you would like to CASE, Like or Pin them and give me the credit.
