Vintage/Shabby

It's time for another Craft-Room challenge and  it's Mervi's turn to choose the theme and she has chosen Shabby/Vintage.

The sponsor for the challenge is Crafty Individuals and the prize for the draw is stamp No. CI 310 and the 7 Shades of Summer background paper book.


I used a Crafty Individuals stamp for my main image but you don't have to use Crafty Individuals products for your challenge piece.
I distressed the edges of various papers and attached them to the card. The image was stamped with aged mahogany Distress ink and I used it on the distressed edges of the papers as well.
The hats are a Gecko Galz digi that I coloured with pencil. I embellished the card with roses, lace, pearls, I made a couple of stick pins and stapled some pieces of ribbon to the card.

The Design Team have made some lovely samples so please take a look at them on the Craft-Room Challenge blog. I'm looking forward to seeing the lovely pieces that you make for the challenge.
