Double D - Vintage/Shabby Chic

My card for Double D was inspired by my friend Bonnie and some cups she did last summer.  You can see them here.  I sat right down and made one and it has been waiting for me to put it on a card ever since. 

The stamp is Hello Beautiful from Altenew, stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs on a cup from Memory Box.  The paper from Penny Black was a perfect compliment to the flowers so I used two different ones from the pack, cutting the middle panel with a scalloped die from Frantic Stamper and then again in white for the lace.  For the MCS sentiment I used their tag die and made a tea bag, attaching it with a piece of green cord.  I probably should have inked around the edges or something to make it more shabby chic but I left well enough alone before I ruined it. 😁

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Inkspirational #274

The photo at Inskspirational reminded me of a technique I've been doing lately with embossing on vellum although I didn't stamp on both sides for this one.  I was having too much trouble with my anti-static powder tool and wasted three other panels before I broke out the baby powder. 

The embossed flowers are from Altenew's Garden Treasure.  I cut the Poppystamps scalloped frame in white, cut a slightly larger rectangle from kraft and sandwiched the vellum panel between them and the card base.  A little strip of the kraft was embossed with an MFT sentiment.   

Thanks so much for dropping by.  Praying for my family and friends who live in the path of Hurricane Ian.
