Oh baby.... I'm channelling my inner Amy Sheffer aka Pickletree for this shabby chic card. Amy has been a long time inspiration of mine so when I saw this month's guest designer challenge, I knew if I could channel Amy, then I could do shabby chic.
My inspiration for my card came from the new Basic Grey DP "Hello Luscious" and the My Mind's Eye Stella Rose (I took three of the four papers from the various lines in Stella Rose). I think it's a fabulous go to stamp for a baby shower or for a person newly pregnant. I watercolored the image with my Tombow Markers and then added a bit of white gel pin for highlighting. Each layer of DP and cardstock was distressed and then I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake and Close to Cocoa inks. I had the most fun with all of the embellishments: some crinkly ribbon, rhinestone swirls, button, linen thread, pebbles and crocheted lace... Love it!!!
