The Abigail Rose decorative paper and Cottage Rose Stamp set seems to lend itself to the shabby chic/ vintage style so when I chose to use it with these colors perhaps it was a subconscious choice!!!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I have a bit of a shabby chic/vintage feel to my card, I have used the Split Card Texture Dies to create a stencil then broke out the Blending Brushes and got to work with some Soft Suede Ink. I did not set out to create shabby chic, but the colors then using Distress Gold Specialty Paper kinda turned it into one! Go with the flow I say!
