Continuing on my shabby chic run, I made a another for this week's ODBD Shining The Light Color Challenge. The colors just seem to call for a shabby chic card and though I started with the peachy pink in mind, it ended up being more on the kraft side since my base layer was from kraft paper and cut using the largest die in the Flourished Star Pattern Die set. My focal point is a verse from Scripture Collection 8 that was cut and sponged using SB Standard Ovals and Distress Inks Tattered Rose. I then added a lacy background using ODBD Beautiful
Borders. My cluster of flowers is made with several die sets: Fancy Foliage, Ornamental Crosses (my dogwood single blossoms), and Aster Dies (my puffy mums). The puffy mums were inspired by my fellow CT sister Gracie using Blushing Rose Collection - she certainly has a way with making flowers!
And please check out my other CT sisters for more wonderful inspiration:
