Crazy 4 Challenges #72

The challenge today at C4C is to make a Vintage or Shabby Chic card.  Create a card or project with a vintage or shabby chic element such as distressing, lace, pearls, off white, aged appearance or a vintage image.  So here is my shabby chic card:


Here are the details:

Stamp: Cupid Tilda from Magnolia-licious, Papers: by Magnolia from Magnolia-licious, flowers from Wild Orchids, Memento ink, copic markers, miscellaneous charms, lace, and embellishments.

Copics used:  E11, E00, E000, R20, R27, R24, R22, E57, E55, E53, E51, YR24, YR23, Y23, Y000, W5, W3, W1, W00, R0000, E47, E44, E42, E41



I distressed all my papers with a Tim Holtz distressing tool and brushed on some Distress ink along the edges.

I will enter this card at the following challenges:

Angela, I love this. I don't do to much distressing of my paper edges (the torn paper type) but I do like the look of it, so I think I will try to do more. This Tilda is so sweet. Gorgeous DP's--love how you curled one corner to place the flower there.

Hugs,
Norma
