A little shabby chic

Today I'm honoured to be a GDT at CRAFT ChallengeSheepSki Designs is sponsoring them.  Their theme is Shabby Chic so this gave me an opportunity to make a style of card I've not done for a while.


The image I've used is called Alana, you can find her here.  She's been coloured with Copics.



Here's a close up of a section of flowers, these are mainly paper which I've had in my stash for ages.


Behind the flowers you can see a section of the lace I've used.  The is another close up of the flowers from the other side of the card.


the image has been distressed with Walnut Stain ink from Tom Holtz and a Tonic Solutions tool.

Behind the image you can see a doily and around the image I've scattered some embossing enamle.


My design papers are from 13Arts and the tiny tags from Maja Design.

To finish off I've added some pearls and a couple fo silver dragonfly charms.

Thanks for popping by today
