B-Line Designs / Shabby Chic

Another amazingly cute image from B-Line Designs inspired this wonderfully feminine and shabby chic card. I loved coloring her with my Copics and popping her up on a double image. I added handstitching around all the paper edges, then curled them slightly to add to the shabby vintage feel of the image. I added some lace and pearls on top of a sheer ribbon, then tied a bubbly bow to frame the collage of roses/blooms. A few more pearls and a small sentiment finished the look.

I will be linking this card to the following challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar - challenge 154 - Flower Power

Paper Sundaes - Vintage / Shabby Chic

Ribbon Carousel - RCC5 - Anything Goes

Papertake Weekly - #56 - Sketch

Sympathy

It's been my week to make sympathy cards (unfortunately). I've mass produced both of these designs to send to family and friends affected by several deaths that have hit too close to home.

I am happy with the way these have turned out and enjoyed playing with the softer, more muted side of color. I hope they provide a little comfort to those with hurting souls.
