Good morning everyone and welcome once more to the latest Lili's Little Fairies challenge. I'd like to start by thanking everyone who left me kind messages and good wishes last fortnight following from my post about my mum passing away ... of course it is still very new, but things are settling down now a little.
Thanks also to everyone who entered last week's challenge - gorgeous projects as always - don't forget to check the main challenge blog to see if you have won our prize.
This week our challenge theme is
Vintage / Shabby Chic
As the DT have perfectly demonstrated, there are numerous ways you can interpret this very fashionable theme with your LotV stamps and/or die cut toppers ... don't forget you need to use a LotV stamp or die cut topper - and please no backlinking!
So here is my vintage / shabby chic creation.
This is a special card that I made for my friend Julie at work, who has suddenly found herself to be "fabulous at fifty"!! I deliberately wanted to combine a "vintage" look with a very feminine card, so this challenge theme was perfect for me this time !! :-)
I recently bought the "handbags" stamp from the "Pretty Vintage" release and it hadn't seen ink yet, so I though now was the time! I was also able to bring into play my yummy Maja "Sofiera" papers and throw around a bit of frantage and edging with my distressing tool.
Stamps: LotV "handbags" and "Everyday Grungy Sentiments";
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers; Stampendous shabby pink frantage embossing powder;
Papers: Maja Designs "Sofiera";
Supplies: flowers mostly from Wild Orchid Crafts; pearls from The Hobby House; lace from John Lewis; ribbon from my stash;
Tools: "floral ovals" nestabilities; Joy Crafts "vintage flourishes" butterfly die; Magnolia Doohickey "heart branch swirl" die; numbers cut using Cuttlebug "Hippie Chick" alphabet.
