Shabby Chic Flowers

My Mom's birthday is Saturday so this this week's color challenge on SCS was the perfect inspiration for a card. The colors are Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry, and Mossy Meadow (Bride in the Berry Meadow). I was lucky enough to get asked to be a guest designer for this challenge during January. How fun is that!!!


A made a couple of the flowers using a IO rolled flower die and my flourish is from Cheery Lynn. The rest are all flowers I got from Wild Orchid. I went a little overboard on the cheesecloth but it seemed to work.

Happy Tuesday!!! Stay warm. Hugz

    I think you are the Chabby Chic queen. Think card is just lovely and your Mom will be thrilled with it. I don't think you went overboard on the cheesecloth at all. I think it is just right. Love that paper also. Enjoy your day.

    Congratulations on your GD assignment, and Happy Birthday to your sweet Mom. I know she will adore this beautiful card. Those flowers are so lush & soft against this wonderful pattern which looks like fabric to me (wasn't sure if it was distressed dp or fabric, but I love it!). The feathers of the white gauzy material under the rose buds was perfect with the vine flourish tucked in the arrangement. A wonderful card & so vintage and feminine. TFS & Hugs.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...
