Shabby Chic Season's Greeting Card

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post of a card I made today:


The first layers was created using a crackle paste applied through the Finnabair Harlequin stencil, then everything was covered with gesso to mute the turquoise color of the card stock...


Handmade flowers were arranged around shabby bow, vintage silver frame and other embellishments...


I added some silver microbeads and couple charms to the arrangement. I like the angel wings peeking under the bow :)


One more look at the card...

Anything But Cute Challenge #8 You've Got Happy Mail

Hello everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at Anything But Cute and this month's hostess is our fabulous Niki! She chose the theme of mixed media holiday cards.


“We all like Happy Mail right? That feeling of being spoiled rotten when you receive a handmade card from someone is better than being wrapped up in a soft blanket near a fire, sipping on a hot latte. So, for this challenge I would love to see some mixed media Christmas cards inspired by the spirit of the season.”, Niki says…

So here is what I made:


And the pictures will show you the process. I have to give the credit to this blog for the door and stone-like wall around the door tutorial. I used a very thick cardboard and egg carton to create door and stone wall...








...and when it's all put together we have the door with holiday wreath and a holiday warm wishes sign :)


I added a couple of jingle bells, bow and some bling to my wreath, just to spruce it up a little bit :)


I used a vintage Prima brad for my door handle...

Please stop by Anything But Cute to see what fabulous makes my team mates have to offer you as an inspiration...OK, now it is your turn!!!

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:
Let's Craft and Create challenge #108 Christmas
Scrap and Craft challenge #16 "Anything Christmas" ( I have my festive Christmas Wreath hanging on the door)
That's Crafty Season's Greetings Challenge

Scrapy Land Challenge #31

Hello everyone,

It is time for a brand new challenge at Scrapy Land Blog and challenge #31 is Anything Goes using dies that Scrapy Land sells.

Here is what I created as a DT inspiration:


This time I went with tall and skinny card using following dies: Spellbinders Shapeabilities Sparkle, Spellbinders In’spire Silhouette, Spellbinders Shapeabilities Rose Creation, Cheery Lynn Designs Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 and Cheery Lynn Designs English Tea Party Doily.


I layered the dies using the foam adhesive to give the card extra dimension...


I added a seam binding shabby bow and tried to keep this card relatively simple...


... and I made a keepsake box for it...

Please stop by the blog to see what my team mates created as the inspiration and I hope you join our challenge #31 as Scrapy Land Blog.

I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by...
