Our bi-wwekly challenge has been set by Debbie Marcinkiewicz at Debs Simple Treasures and The Shabby Tearoom. Debbie has chosen a beautiful photo inspiration for us, in keeping with her gorgeous shabby chic style!
I took my inspiration this week from the beautiful blue in the tulle dress - I was going to make a pink flower but I did that the other week lol!
So, using some gorgeous seam binding from The Ribbon Reel, this is what I came up with:
I find shabby chic very difficult to do, and my last card for The Ribbon Reel Challenge was very shabby chic. But I think my shabby chic stores were all used up on that card lol, so today I have gone for something a bit more graphic.
I have used the chevron stamp from Waltzing mouse Stamps Offbeat Backgrounds, and used Tuxedo Black and Tumbled Glass inks. I stamped this onto some white card, then cut out and adhered to a white linen card base.
The sentiment is from Say it With Style, and punched out using a little tag punch.
I cut a strip of seam binding and layered this with some white velvet ric rac (LUSH!), also from The Ribbon Reel. Unfortunately, I used Glossy Accents to adhere the ric rac to the seam binding, and this shows through - note to self - use glue dots in future!!
I tied two bows from the rest of my seam binding and tied some twisted burlap around the middle to attach the label. If you look closely I have used a little blue metal ring through the hole to attach it with.
Finally added a small black resin rose from stash and some little lengths of burlap and some gems to the label.
Please pop by my fellow team mates for this weeks challenge, there are some special creations from all of them!
I am also entering this card into The Play Date Cafe Challenge this week, as it's a colour splash, my favourite! So thats black, white and a splash of one other colour. I'm having a bit of a blue week this week, and this is my second entry for this week's challenge.
