Good afternoon everyone!
I hope that your Week is a good one so far!
I think – after my very first attempt at a Shabby Chic card the other day – I have been bitten by the Shabby Chic/Vintage bug.
Especially after seeing these gorgeous new papers from Pion Designs. Grins.
Aren’t they just so very beautiful?!
They are called Paris Flea Market and I got mine from Dies to Die For.. (Enabler alert here.. they deliver world wide! Grins.)
My beautiful image is a stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and she is called Emily Rose Hatter.
To bring her to life I used my Copics in the following shades:-
Hat.
Dress and Grounding.
Ribbon, Bag & Shoes.
Hair.
Skin.
To mount my picture “into” the artwork on the paper behind, this is what I did.
I position my image where I wanted it to sit, then I place pencil marks the side edge and bottom.
Then again at the top and side edge. Like so.
Then I took my craft knife and cut around the image within the marked area.
And again at the top.
Then I mounted my image using wet glue so I had time to position it.
The cream doily, flowers …
… & pearls are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.
My image is cut using my Stitched Rectangle Die set by DIEzyne Dies available from CC Designs.
To finish I edged everything, including my card base (made from 2 sheets of A4 Cream Hammer Card) with my Frayed Burlap Distress ink by Tim Holtz.
The challenge I am entering into with my Shabby Chic card are:-
1. Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog – Anything Goes.

Thank you so very much for stopping by today!
Hugs & Happy Crafting Everyone!
