I used fabric and embossing to create texture and the many layers that seem to be the signature of this style.
I think I got the shabby.... not so sure about the chic!
For the background I sprayed through a Prima Doily stencil and embossed a Quatrefoil design on the lower right corner.
I distressed a scrap of paper and stamped it with a Newsprint image.
The larger piece of material has been stamped using Crafty Individuals CI-207 set.
For the smaller one I used the kiss stamping technique with a Harlequin background stamp (The Artistic Stamper) and a flower background. Difficult to see the motif of that second stamp but the effect is pleasant. I sprayed this piece with Pink, Lime and blue patina sprays.
I added a piece of DIY washi tape, coloured staples, a die-cut corner and a border die-cut from fabric that I have gathered with some embroidery floss.
I am also entering the Artful Times, Stamping Sensations, Crafty Individuals and The Artistic Stamper challenges.

How very unique, C! I wish I could do Shabby Chic this well! I really like the colors and the die cut upper right! Your ferns are lovely on the vellum and the trim on the bottom really says shabby chic to me!!
ReplyDeleteC'est super joli, j'aime beaucoup l'effet des fougères sur le tissu!... l'autre morceau avec tes deux tampons doit être bien beau aussi, mais se voit moins sur la photo... bon lundi de Pâque Christine. Bises
ReplyDeleteI do like the ferns which I think I am right in saying are on fabric? Lovely effect you have achieved there. Do I espy a MB die in the top right hand corner?
ReplyDeleteLovely effect with the spraying.
