Welcome to my Corner of the World

I do love the vintage technique (shabby chic) for my cards – it takes a little time but is satisfying to do and the final finish is so worth the effort. When I saw the Sale-a-bration exclusive free stamp set, Detailed Dogwood, I just knew it would be perfect for this technique, especially as it has a fine collection of eclectic images along with a beautiful dogwood spray. It also gave me a chance to use a few techniques as well.

• Base Card: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Boho Blue Card ~ scored @ 4 1/4
• Layer 1: 5 1/4 x 4 Poetic Expressions Decorative Paper
• Layer 2: 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 Boho Blue Card
• Layer 3: 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 Very Vanilla Card
• Ink Color: Crumb Cake and Boho Blue

I started my stamping with Crumb Cake ink – randomly stamping the various elements, to keep the images as soft as possible I ‘stamped off’ most of the ink on scrap paper before stamping onto the Very Vanilla Layer. 

I ‘scuffed up’ all the edges of the layers with a pair of Paper Snips, then using a Sponge Dauber added some Crumb Cake ink before attaching them all together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive

A couple of turns around with Crumb Cake Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and some Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls for my embellishments

I did not add a greeting so this card will be perfect for practically any occasion. However, there is a little label stamp in the set I could not resist using as it coordinates with the Best Label Punch, it looks quite at home on the twine embellishment, doesn’t it?
