Good morning everyone- I hope you are doing well.
Today I have a couple of Vintage/Shabby Chic Mother's Day cards to share... 
A few days ago I was in the mood to just 'play with paper' so I dug out my neglected but loved Graphic 45 Children's Hour collection. I mostly used the months of May and June for my cards and I was on a mission to see how many papers/elements I could put on a A2 card front- And I'm very happy with the way they turned out :)
All of the edges were distressed with Brushed Corduroy ink, I sprayed the first card with Glitter Dust and I added TH Crackle Paint to the second card. There are a few punched butterflies on the pink card and the pearls, twine and lace are from my stash.
Thanks so much for stopping by- I really appreciate it!
Take care and stay healthy.

These are fabulous Tammy with all the layers, like the first one with all the pinks, sweet image and like the flowers, butterflies, sentiment and your distressed edges, the second one is a great combo of colors, beautiful image, like the lace and fluttering butterflies. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteThose are so bright and cheerful. I always think of vintage as a bit drab but you've proved me wrong. Love Dawn x
