Its time for another challenge at The Shabby Tea Room! This one is actually hosted by me! The challenge is to use the colors from the inspiration photo AND use flowers somewhere in your project or card. I used a flower that I got on clearance at Michaels as the focal point. You'll also find another one of those vintage molded button I made on the shabby bow...
I used Just Rite's Kindness, Fancy Labels, and Friendship Blooms cling stamp sets to create this card...
The background pattern was created using the decorative circle frame from Friendship blooms along with the smaller medallion.

I then stacked the Spellbinders label 18 coordinating stamps from Friendship Blooms and Fancy Labels. I don't have the Spellbinders die yet, so I just cut it out by hand.
Finally I stamped the smallest label from Fancy Labels in light pink and over it the sentiment from Kindness.
I used ink and water to distress the background for a softer, shabbier feel.
Thanks for visiting...I hope you decide to play along with this week's challenge. Here's some more inspiration for you from the other Shabby Girls...
Charlene - Expresstions of Me!
Kristin - Lilsweetpea's Place
Melissa - Creating From the Heart
Pattie - The Pampered Paper Patch
Debbie - Simple Treasures
I also entered this card in Just Rite's 'Kindness' challenge. The prize is pretty amazing and includes the Vintage Oval Labels cling stamp sets I've had my eye on... this set is absolutely scrumptious!
P.S. Sorry about the yucky pictures lately...I need to play around and find a better spot to photograph my cards. I don't really feel like my photos are a good representation of what my cards are really like in real life. They seem so flat and the colors are slightly off...boohooo.... you know me- I'm a whiner....;o) I'm also going to blame Windows 7 for removing the 'fix' option on their photo viewer (that was the easiest way to edit photos for me! I feel lost when doing it on paint.net) If you have any pointers for me and my sorry skills I'd love to hear them...Thanks friends.

Good camera….light tent…photo editing software…that’s what I recommend *giggles* Natural light is best but so hard depending on where you live…and which direction your house faces and all that. PaintShopPro by Jasc is a great program you can probably find free online….or if you buy it, it’s cheaper than PhotoShop. I have both and I use both… As for your card…love the ribbon treatment and that big pretty flower; so pretty…
ReplyDeleteOoohh gorgeously shabby :) Love the colours and your layered labels too.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so pretty. I just love the colors and the design of your card. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHey, Danielle...I love your vintage shabby style...with the seam binding ribbon..and I have always wanted to have the ribbon...lovely !!!
ReplyDeleteSo so shabbylicious! I adore your background paper. Just gawjus! It's a wonder non of the DP companies haven't tried to snaffle your talented self up yet. Just a matter of time I suspect. I love the hand cut mat stacking you did so clever. I can't get my hands on any JustRite stamps and I would give my I teeth formjust one set.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to invest in all the stuff to jazz up pics. I think I should as most times my pictures don't seem to serve me well. Anyway, I know what you mean. Your pics are amazing to me so just imagine what all the bells and whistles would do. Yikes!
