How is your week going? My shoulder has been playing up and I am finding it difficult to craft. Strangely I have more requests to make cards this week than for a long time.
Today the new challenge starts at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog and this time the theme is A Little Shabby Chic. Now this is not a style I usually embrace.
I had a set of beautiful papers and matching sentiments in my stash and I decided to used these to make a birthday card for a friend. I used scissors to rough the edges of the paper and Distress ink to add colour. The small piece of lace was in my stash.
Why not come and join in with our challenge click on the logo and you will be taken there.
I used the Sophia die set from Creative Expressions to cut the frame for the sentiment.
I used the Passion Flower die set from Creative Expressions to make the flower and the leaves.
Since I made this card I had a request for a 80th Birthday card. So I adapted this card to suit. I will have to make another one for my friend. I do think it is a good idea to make cards without sentiments and then to add them later when you know how they are going to be used.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

I often make my cards sentiment-less, Jackie, for that very reason! Or I use generic sentiments on the card front that can be used for a number of occasions. Your rose colored shabby creation is gorgeous! I love the monochrome flavor (one of my all time favorite techniques) and your distressed edges to the beautiful layers! The birthday recipient will be thrilled, and feel extra special! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteFabulous layers and colours. Gorgeous lace, die cut and sentiment makes this a fabulous card
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, Jackie! Shabby chic is way out of my zone too.
