This is my entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which this time has a theme of 'Shabby Chic'. This really was a challenge for me and I hope that my card fits the bill. Thanks Meg for pointing me in the right direction.
Rarely for me, I used a stamped image for my card. This gorgeous image and the embellishments are all from the adorable Patchwork Polly range of stamps by Jane Nestorenko. I stamped them all in Memento ink and coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils. The card used is from Create and Craft, the backing paper printed from Crafters' Companion Swalk cd-rom and the lace is also from Crafters' Companion.
I distressed all around the edges of the backing paper using a very handy distressing tool and then inked the edges using a Tim Holtz distress ink. Finally I added lots of pearls from Joanna Sheen.
This is one of the cards I have made for my daughter to give to her teachers. She leaves high school this month and is currently sitting her GCSE's. She has 3 exams today!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

This is lovely and very pretty colours. I instantly recognised the artwork of Jayne and have these stamps myself. You have reminded me that I must stamp more!

A lovely colour palette Jo. I am sure the card will be treasured by the teacher. Good luck to your daughter with her exams. Thank you for sharing it with us at CD Sunday Wynn DT
A lovely card Jo. Such a sweet little one. Thank you for coming out of your comfort zone. You weren't the only one. I got so involved in trying to be Shabby Chic I almost forgot something from a CD.
Thanks for joining us.
