Hello dear friends, I'm so delighted that you took the time to visit with me!
My card today was inspired by the Shabby Girls at The Shabby Tea Room, which has lately become one of my favorite places to visit for shabby chic inspiration! Their challenge this week is Classic Patterns/Polka Dots or Gingham. I chose to make a card without an image this time, trying to focus on the vintage look with just the papers and embellies.
I used the papers from the Grace Taylor vintage collection paper pack and the stamps from the JustRite Victorian Nested Frames & Occasions set and Stampin' Up. The edges were distressed with Distress Ink and the ovals were cut with Nestabilities.
I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Take care and "Thank You" for looking! Hugs!
