Hi there, stampers! Today I have a card for the new Card Concept challenge, and the challenge gave me a chance to do a shabby-chic card! They're just about my favorite style to make but they do take me a wee bit longer, so I don't make them as often as I would like to! Anyway, here's Julie's prompt:
Aren't those pillows gorgeous? I am a pillow nut, I have tons on my couch, but then we have to take them off when we all want to sit on it, LOL! Anyway, I pulled out a couple of old SU sets, Freehand Florals from W+9, and some Prima Farm Sweet Farm papers to create my shabby chic/vintage card for this week:
I started with the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
then layered on some of the papers to a Sahara Sand base. I stamped the birdcage from Nature Walk in Stazon Black, then added a few more elements from the same set to the background; the flower in Blushing Bride, the "number" in Sahara Sand, and I also stamped from script from French Foliage:
The flowers are from W+9, stamped in Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot along with Sahara Sand foliage. The sentiment, heat embossed in white, is from Our Daily Bread Design Mini Tag Sentiments. I diecut the circle and the banner with the new Stylish Shapes dies that will be coming out next month! Love them! Finally, I diecut a little wren from Sahara Sand and added a little color and shading to him so he could perch just below the bird cage. I also added some Black & White gingham ribbon for fun!
I didn't stamp anything on the inside; I will leave it blank until I know for what occasion I'll be using it! Now, I hope this gorgeous sets of pillows will whet your stamping appetite to come play with us. Just be sure to tell us your stamping "style" (you can see all the styles on the Card Concept's blog); we can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for visiting today!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
