Shabby Flowers

Hello everyone! I am so excited at the moment...school holidays!!! After collapsing with exhaustion yesterday (and also with the aid of a nanna nap) I created this card. It follows the latest challenge from The Shabby Tea Room.

You are asked to create a card or project inspired by the COLORS and THEME of the photo and make it SHABBY!

I started by looking for some shabby/worn looking papers in my stash. I have some papers that looked like weathered wood and yes I found some blue! I imagined a frame to showcase the flowers. I recently bought this Sizzix frame and liked how the centre is cut out when you run the die through your machine. I attached it with some foam tape to the background to add dimension. I then cut some foliage and punched out some branches in a contrasting green (scraps come in handy for this). I added my flowers, starting with the largest and moving to the smallest.

I stamped my sentiment, inked it and again attached it using foam tape. Some pearls finish this element. This card wasn't complicated as I wanted the flowers to be the main focus. I really enjoyed making this card!

Supplies:

Paper: Grant Archival Scrappy Chic, Stampin' Up! crumb cake, whisper white, old olive and bashful blue

Stamp: Stampin' Up! teeny tiny sentiments

Ink: Walnut stain distress ink, Memento tuxedo black

Other: Sizzix Fancy oval frame framelit, Spellbinders foliage and fancy framed tags one. Martha Stewart branch punch, Hooked on Craft flowers, Distrezz It All, Kaisercraft pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!
