Shabby Chic Country Inspired Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with one of the cards made from my challenge to myself to use my existing stash. I used Dovecraft Country Garden papers, cut a tattered florals flower out with my TH die and shaped it with my fingers. I then inked the edges of the petals and added a button as its centre.
For my card base I covered it in one paper edged with the same ink, and made a panel of distressed Kraft card, pink paper edged with ink and another pattered paper inked on the edges on top. I then added my flower to a doily which I also inked the edges of. Lastly I added little pearls as embellishments.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Hiding in my Craft room: Super Scraps Saturday
Simply Create too: So old or vintage
The Emerald Faeries Challenge: Use a Doily
Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
Bunny Zoes Crafts: Distressing
Kaboodle Doodles: Flowers
Make it Monday: Anything Goes
Pile it on Challenge: Patterned Paper

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
