Shabby Chic flowers

The past few weeks I've taken an interest in Shabby Chic, especially flowers.
I've been watching tutorials and purchased some lace and chipboard/plywood laser cuts (at this great store: http://wycinanka.net/).

I've already made a few cards and some lace flowers like this one.

I adore the pink and grey lace. The ornament in the middle I also made using beads and other bits and pieces I had in my stash.

The big flower on my next card I also made from trims of lace.

The paper on this card I had in my stash for many years, I think it's from Tilda. It's gorgeous paper.
The frame is from Wycinanka. I glued the two pieces together and painted it with white acryl paint mixed with chalk to get the right color. I made the frame look old bij adding brown chalk and silver ink.

The sentiment is from a lily of the valley stamp set from Inspired by stamping.
The big flower is made from white and pink lace and a in the middle a fabric rose. The small silver roses are from metal, so this card combines shabby chic with modern. I thought "why not?"

Finally I've added some pearls and a piece of silver lace.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Tilda with violin card

Hi all,

Yesterday I started working on my next card. I begin by coloring the magnolia stamp tilda with violin using my
aquarel pencils. I put some fake snow on the wing. I stamped some little leafs on the oval sentiment.

Today I made the card. The paper is from a local store and the other bits like the ribbon, stickers, ornament and flowers are from my own stock.
The card has somewhat of a nostalgic feel to it.

I'am entering this card in the just magnolia challenge for this week: anything goes.

Have a happy week and until next time. Thanks for stopping by!

But today I made a bookmark with a Magnolia stamp.
I colored the stamp with my waterbrush and waterpaint. The paper is from october afternoon, the thrift shop.

On the dress I used also paper from october afternoon.
The brad and tassel are from my own stock.
