Shabby Chic #24

Hi Everyone! This is my last shabby chic card for this series! Boy has this year flown by! I hope you are enjoying the Christmas season. It seems like each year Christmas comes earlier and earlier. Well, here is my card. The stamp is one I bought a long time ago at a stamp convention and I don't know the company since the stamp is just rubber.

I colored the image using alcohol markers and then I cut it out using the Gina Marie stitched oval die. I colored in the "stitches" using a brown marker. The image was layered on an Ellentina die and a Spellbinder die. These were layered on white card stock and then added to the red card base. The greenery was cut from an Impression Obsession die. I then added a paper poinsettia and some cord.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a Blessed Christmas!

 Hello and Merry Christmas! I hope your Christmas is full of love, joy and peace.

The stamp I used on this card is the 3 Wise Men on Camels by Just For Fun Stamps. I stamped it using green ink and cut it out using a Spellbinders oval die. This was adhered to the fancy Ellentina die. The white background was embossed using a distressed stripe embossing folder. The edges were sponged using brown ink and then layered on a green card base. A Tim Holtz punch was used for the greenery and a paper poinsettia was added at the top.

Shabby Chic #17

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing another shabby chic card I made using a watercolored background that I made using a stencil. I patted Distress ink pads right onto the stencil, spritzed the stencil with water, laid the stencil down on watercolor paper and pressed firmly with my hand. I also sponged on some green colors through the stencil. The result was a lovley watercolor look with the imprint of the stencil!

I added an unbranded die birdcage to the background cutting it from glossy gold card stock. I stamped the cute bird by Magenta to the side of the cage and added the birthday saying by Our Daily Bread stamps. The frame is by Ellentina and the decorative edges were cut from the top and bottom of the Botanical Frame die by Memory Box!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Hi! I am back again with another shabby chic card to show you. I found the oval in my stash made using peg stamps. I stamped the bird from Local King Rubber Stamps and added a saying. I backed the oval using an Ellentina die cut from dark pink card stock. The ribbon was dyed and little roses and pearls were added to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!
