Hello and good morning to everyone that is up bright and early on this lovely Monday. The grand children have been back at school for over a week now but I still seem to be catching up on things that need doing. Well it's really nice to be able to get into my craft room after having done a tidy up, you all know the feeling when the grand children get into the craft room and have a go at different stuff, under supervision I may add !!
So here is my pretty Shabby Chic card to show you, I so love doing this type of card, but at the same time it's nice to alternate between styles. As I don't work on any design team or represent any product I can do my own thing !!
The roses were die cut on a light weight pearl card, I find it easier to roll them. I used a touch of distress ink on the roses before rolling. When done I just lightly touched the edges of the petals with light brown, to give a little dimension. The other flowers were hand made, die cut, coloured, wet and scrunched then pearl stamens in the middle.
The butterfly is a Joy craft die ( I think ! ) but whatever butterfly you use would look just as pretty.
I popped some flat backed pearls down the spine.
Hers' a closer look at the roses.
I used lots of different dies for the leaves, was going to do them in a very pale green but changed my mind as I guess they look quite 'chic ' in white, with the pearl sprays here and there
This is a sideways view of the card
And here we have a peep at the inside. I embossed part of the inside die and rubbed a little very pale pink gilding wax over it, buffed it up with some kitchen cloth, was pleased with the result as am not used to using gilding wax, a bit of a novice actually !
Thank you for taking the time to have a peep at my card, have a wonderful day, love and hugs.xx
