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...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:


Evolution Scrap Seasonal Coolness with this amazing mood board


Frilly and Funkie Challenge 'Tis the Season

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