Shabby chic flower card

I've made another shabby chic card. On this card I did not use paper flowers or mulberry roses but a beautiful flower applique and other flowers from trims of lace.



The background paper is from eline pellinkhof, I had it in my stash for many years.
The plywood ornament and wooden butterfly are from Wycinanka. I've kept the ornament untreated but I've colored the butterfly with a pink marker,


Between the cardstock and the patterned paper on the right edge I glued a piece of pink lace.
I used several flowers from lace trim and a large flower with leaves applique.
Finally I've added pearls and a white peacock feather. I like it how different pieces are hanging off the edge.


I'm entering this card in the cas-ualfridays challenge.



Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Henriette.


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:
