Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...
Yes......... that's it.......... another two weeks have gone by in a flash and I'm here again with another card for In The Pink!
Our fabulous theme this time is
VINTAGE/SHABBY CHIC
which proved a difficult one for me - as I've been in the land of CAS lately.... but I dug out my Frantage and my trusty distressing tool...... and here's the result... hope you like!
Materials used:
Image - Saturated Canary Vintage Swim (came on a CD I got with Complete Cardmaking Mag - but still available in 'Another bunch of digis' from Krista)
Papers: Maja Design
Die: Spellbinders Floral Oval
Colouring - Copics
Skin: E000/00/21/11/04, R21
Hat and Swimsuit - RV91/93/95

Hope you'll join in the Shabby Chic/Vintage fun over at In The Pink and take a peek at what the gorgeous Pink Ladies have come up with - you can go straight to the challenge HERE.

I love this Christine! Not sure why you thought the shabby/vintage was difficult because you nailed it. Love this image and the way you coloured her, the layout is fab and you know how much I love the Frantage!
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely Christine. I love the frantage on it. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the stuff myself. Love the effect, hate the mess!

Christine, this is such a beautiful card. Aside from the fact you have chosen such a gorgeous image which just fits shabby chic so perfectly your colouring and card design are truly inspirational. I think we need to ban you from saying shabby chic is n't your thing from now on!!!
ReplyDeleteLove from Sue...xxx

Ha ha, I think lots of the Pink Ladies found this theme tricky! Your card is so stunning though, the image has that vintage style and then the distressing and Frantage complete the look perfectly :-)
ReplyDeleteYour new Kefalonia lace looks so beautiful on here too...must convince Dr. Hubby that we need a return trip...maybe to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversay?! That's only 14 months away - lol!
Big hugs, Kat xx
Lovely design Christine, she's a sassy lady!
