This week's challenge over on the The Paper Shelter blog is create a vintage or shabby chic project. Oh, the HORROR! The last time I made a vintage or shabby chic was.....lets see.......ummmmm.......NEVER! Talk about taking me outside of my comfort zone! My style is definitely more of a clean, but not simple style.
So, shabby chic.....we're talking muted colors, distressed and torn edges, definitely some lace or crochet ribbon. Probably should add a bunch of flowers. Nope. Can't do it. Too much for me. I settled on added some vintage seam binding and pins and calling it a day.
Here's my card:
I had JUST moved my Prismacolor pencils out of main crafty supplies area and banned them to my storage area due to ongoing neglect. Sure enough, I had to pull them right back out. I thought the copics would look too harsh and the Prismacolor pencils would give me a softer look for this card. I colored up the adorable "In the 20's" image and cut her out with the MFT Die-Namics Oval STAX set 1. I distressed the edges and sponged some PTI tea dye duo around the edges of the image panel. I used some DSP from the Prima Nature Garden Collection 6x6 paper pad and distressed the edges of that as well. I adhered the to a PTI vintage cream panel and then curled up and tore the edges of the DSP a bit. I added some natural hanging cluny crochet ribbon, some vintage seam binding, and a couple of pins from the Ribbon Carousel. I mounted this onto a PTI sweet blush card stock base.
