Shabby Chic 'Elements of Style' Cards...

Saw this video the other day...

http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2010/05/vintage-card-video-.html

and HAD to 'lift' the card IMMEDIATELY!!!

I had to substitute quite a few things...

(Yes...hard to believe! I know y'all think I own everything! But I DON'T!)

Dawn does BEAUTIFUL work and I am soooo inspired when I visit her blog!

Thank you Dawn!!

Here's how my cards turned out...

I used the following Stampin' Up thingz...

 Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cs

Top Note die

Chocolate Chip and Soft Suede inks

 Elements of Style stamp set

 and Slit punch.

I also used my blender pens and the Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery inks to colour in the flowers because I don't have those SU marker colours.

Then I substituted some pink Bazzill cs,

pink ribbon,

'antique' silver brads

and

my own circle punches at the appropriate sizes.

I also didn't have the Smooch spritz so I used a sponge and Chocolate Chip ink to sponge the whole card.

I absolutely LOVE the Shabby Chic style/look...

Whatever you want to call it!

I LOVE IT!

And I LOVE how these cards turned out!
