Good morning! So glad you could stop by! Today I have a shabby chic card to share using a menagerie of products and techniques. Glitter, paint and even hairspray went into this creation... so fun and oh so messy! :-)
I started with a simple black card stock base. (5.5 x 4.25 inches to be exact...) I added a slightly smaller DP from Our Daily Bread Designs' Soulful Stitches Paper Collection. The edges were distressed with a distress tool and lightly inked with a pale khaki distress ink. I stamped the doily image on ecru card stock (Doily Blessings) and used the coordinating Doily Die (mat image) to cut the image in shadow and the intricate die to cut/emboss a doily in black CS. I layered both (slightly off center of each other to show the design). I cut the heart out of thin cardboard (Ornate Hearts Die) and slathered it with shades of brown distress ink and white crackle paint. I used my heat gun to speed the drying process and managed a slightly "cooked" look... (wasn't what I was aiming for but it WORKED!) I slathered the heart with crystal liquid adhesive and added a mixture of gold glitter and coarse silver glitter. Once it dried, I sprayed it heavily with hairspray (hopefully to discourage any shedding and maintain hold...) Then I spritzed the entire heart with a silver and gold glitter mist. After it dried, I layered it up and added a die cut vine with ecru blossoms Fancy Foliage and Asters and Leaves. Tiny ecru pearls finish the centers. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on ecru Birthday Doily and cut it out with the Pennants Die. I just love all the layers....
Here's a close up....
