Power and Spark challenge Shabby and Chic


I really like the looks of Shabby cards, but I do not do them often. So this was a real challenge for me. I have had this stamp set and it reminds me of late summer and fall, so that is what I used.
Here is my card.

I used the stamp set from Power Poppy called Sunny Harvest, love those Chinese Lanterns. I was practicing my newest technique, White Wash. You stamp the image with white, and heat emboss it. Then using white ink and water brush, paint it white. After drying, you can paint on colors. I love how this turned out.

    Oh, my gosh, this is so pretty!!! I love shabby chic too, but don't do it well. It's too messy and random for me, my brain doesn't think that way. Your card is gorgeous, and I especially love that stamp - so different. I have never seen it before. Really nice!!!

    Oh, Barb, this is beautiful, and I just love the white-wash technique for a really gorgeous shabby chic look! You've really nailed it! And what beautiful dies and flowers to "shabby" it up even more. Stunning, and I was delighted to see it in this week's Power Poppy email from Marcella Hawley! Beautifully done, my friend! Hugs!
