I love shabby chic cards made with roses and did make one with roses but I could never get happy with it so I made this one. I'm entering this card into the Inspired by Stamping vintage/shabby chic challenge/June Blog Hop and the Inspired by Stamping Customer Gallery-http://joannamunster.com/customer-gallery/
It also fits the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog-Anything Goes
I'm using a scallop border crochet trim from Inspired by Stamping and the sentiment is also from the same company/Just Because set.
Some cheesecloth was added on top of the Cuttlebug textile embossed piece and then the Prima/Flaxence Barley flower. I'm also using some canvas fringe bought at Hobby Lobby. The heart is Spellbinders Classic Heart and I've smeared it with Liquitex modeling paste.I don't think you can see the eyelet lace Martha Stewart punched paper underneath the heart. I almost covered it completely. Ugh!
I added a swirl of pearls and called it finished.

Wow absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing!!!
Ha, I thought it was just me spent ages putting together a card and then spent the rest of the time covering it all up!
This is beautiful Brenda, love your shabby chic style - I've tried this style but mine always end up in the bin :)
How lovely, Brenda! It makes me think of my grandmother! Thanks for that memory!
This is so lovely with that pretty flower and heart! I love the pearls, the lace, and that big bold gemstone that all make this so feminine and fun!

Gorgeous Card Benzi! Thank you so much! Hugs, J
Benzi it seems to me you can do any style. From Clean and simple to Shabby Chic. I love this - so pretty. The flower, the lace, the cheese cloth the pearls-all beautiful. I have gone Shabby Chic lately myself. Next you have to try "Steampunk"....lol Is that a challenge?
Bear Hugs,
Carol
Hi Benzi, ich gebe Carol Recht, egal welche Karten Du gestaltest und dekorierst sie sind immer wieder etwas ganz besonderes und schön an zu sehen.
Diese Karte ist ein Traum in Shabby Chic.
Ich Danke Dir für Deinen lieben Kommentar und ich habe nachgesehen. Es ist leider keine Ballon Blume. Meine Blume hat keine Blätter.
Liebe Grüße und Dir noch eine schöne Woche, Carmen
PS Ich bin gerade am renovieren der Küche (the Kitchen):)
