Shabby chic...

Hi friends...this is going to be the quickest post in history!! My sweet hubby is downstairs waiting for the sous chef (that would be me) to help with dinner! Now, for those of you who know me, you'll find that ever so humorous...since I don't cook...let me rephrase that...I don't enjoy cooking!! LOL!! I do enjoy crafting, tho...and here's a little card I put together for a couple of challenges...

Lili of the Valley (following Donalda's fun sketch)

and

Wild Orchids Crafts (theme: shabby chic friendship)

...so here's my entry...only one photo since the sunlight was quickly fading...

I painted the metal filagree corner (from WOC) with Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Crackle Paint...then sponged on a bit of Creamy Caramel ink (Stampin' Up). I actually got this fabulous "painted metal corner" idea from Dena over at LOTV...I've used it a couple of times and quite like the effect. Thanks Dena...you rock! DPs are from English Rose Collection (Kaiser Craft)...CS is Very Vanilla and River Rock (from SU). These gorgeous flowers are from WOC, of course...and the rest of the fun embellies came from my stash. The image...well, it's LOTV...colored with Copics! I love, love, love LOTV images...and, once I'm a fulltime stay at home crafter, (in just 4 weeks...hooray!), I'll be making lots and lots of cards just for fun! YAY!!

OK...that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by...and for your kind comments. Hugs...until next time....
