Yours truly is giving the challenges to our most wonderful and talented DT over at CCEE this month - and to any of you who might want to play along. This week I asked the ladies to make a card with a vintage feel. I would love to make vintage shabby chic cards - but they never turn out looking as they should - they end up looking just shabby!
Card Recipe:
Stamp: A Beautiful Day by Verses Rubber Stamps; SU Cracked/Aged BG stamp
Paper: MFP CS
Ink: Soft Suede and Distress Ink Pads
Accessories: Hemp Twine; Copper colored brads; Distressing Tool
Hop over and check out the awesome cards of the ladies on the DT and, if you are of a mind, link up your card too!
Thanks for stopping by - later gator!
Beautiful verse on a beautiful card, Kathy. Thanks for a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at your comment about "shabby chic." Mine always look "shabby" too, so I tend not to even try. Thanks for making me try vintage again. It's always a challenge for me. I like that you made the sentiment the focus of your card.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, I don't believe that you could make anything that was just "shabby", but I do identify with how you feel, since I feel the same myself. I must say I found this the hardest of your challenges but it was a fun one. Love all your distressing and the twine - clean vintage is much more my style :D.
ReplyDeleteNot shabby!! The distressing is wonderful, and so is the bg. The Weathered stamp is perfect!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous text and beautiful card kathy.
