Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge featuring "In the 20's" by The Paper Shelter







Hello and welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is off to a great week! I've been trying to get my house in order for my son, Noah's birthday as well as Thanksgiving which we are hosting this year!  I did have some crafting time and was able to get a card done for this week's challenge which is Shabby Chic/Vintage!

Our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge is The Paper Shelter!!

Here is my card...


So I usually would have gone with "Vintage" just because I just have done a few more vintage projects than "Shabby Chic".  However, I do admire Shabby Chic projects and thought this would be a great opportunity for practice!  So the charming little girl is a digi by The Paper Shelter called "In the 20's".  I thought she was so adorable and perfect for this project.   I colored her up with my copics and her dress is colored using  the Copic Marker Color Fusion Trio 2.  I just really tried to stay light with the colors. I even used my colorless blender (0) to take off some of the colors to make them even more muted for a "Shabby Chic" look! I also kept the papers pretty light and used a really pretty collection by Teresa Collins called "Sweet Afternoon".   The paper bow is one of my favorite new embellishments and was cut out using a small bow die from Lil' Inkers.   I also added some layered Spellbinders in "Labels Twenty" as well as a pretty butterfly using La La Land Craft's Butterflies Die SetThe flowers are a combo of Kaisercraft, I am Roses and the porcelain flowers are from my stash. So for not being a Shabby Chic expert, I was pretty happy with the way it came out! :)  Hope you all like it too and give it a try as well!

Here are some additional supplies I used on my card:
White Polka Dot cardstock-Bazzill
Spun Sugar-Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink
Pink Rhinestones-Kaisercraft


Please check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see supplies used on my card.  Also, check out the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge blog to see what other  projects the rest of the Design Team made.  If you want to join this fun challenge, I'll post the details below and you could have a chance to win some great prizes form the store!

Hope you all like my  Shabby Chic card! Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by to visit! :)
