My Shabby Chic Challenge card

OOOOOhhhh, had so many problems with blogger today, won't work on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome so have resorted to now having to work in Firefox (which I happen to think is the best anyway and why I didn't think of it in the first place would have saved me a few hours rage ;)


I've been trying to show you all the Christmas card I made for today's WillowSketchie Challenge card, I'm hosting the challenge today and have been secretly playing with the sketch all week, scroll down to see variations of cards using the same sketch on today's challenge.

I also set a little recipe to go along with the sketch, we wanted to see something shiny /sparkly and something red!!
What a brilliant excuse to get my embossing ink and amazing glaze out!, been a while since I've had the old heat gun out and was delighted with the results.
I was trying to achieve that shabby chic look which we all often strive for, I would have liked my sand paper to hand but I've lost it but no matter, the fabric panel slightly frayed and awkward edges gave me the look I was after!

Not forgetting of course the Winnie in Earmuffs, clear stamp from Willow Designs, <3 it lots.
The image itself was stamped using a black Memento ink pad, which I find to be the best when using Promarkers and I just ADORE the background colour, duck egg Promarker, yum yum...

And for all of you Promarker addicts, here's which ones I used.Why not have a go at a little shabby chic yourself, hope you feel inspired to.xxxx
