I went into Shabby Chic territory for this Dare to Get Dirty Card. The image paper and the background paper are from an SEI Valentine's pack I bought two Valentine's ago--it ended up being a bit glittery for my taste, but it does have some beautiful shimmery paper. I stamped the hydrangea in Soft Suede and clear embossed. The background paper is embossed with SU Vintage Wallpaper folder, then layered onto the kraft base. The sentiment is from PTI Delightful Dahlia, stamped in Soft Suede & clear embossed on PTI Ocean Tides, matted with Gina K Pure Luxury Ivory. The butterflies are cut from the shimmery paper, too. Then I went crazy with the distress inking to give it a real shabby chic look--I wish you could see it in person because the inking + the shimmer is just yummy!

This is just beautiful! I love the colors and texture. Your hydrangea is fabulous and so are the little butterflies. Great job and thanks so much for playing!
