I just fell in love with this beautiful Shabby Chic card that I discovered on the Papertrey Ink Forum.
Being fairly new to the card making world, it still amazes me that such a beautiful card can be made using your left over scraps. My new goal is after completing a scrapbook layout and before I clean up my very creative mess; is to make a card or two. Why not? Try it, you already have everything you need in front of you. The best part is that it all coordinates because you just completed a layout using the same supplies.
No more $10 store-bought cards from me..
Don’t you just love the little house embellishment, the warm vintage look & feel, the great color combination along with the zig zag sewn edging. So before you toss out those scraps, why not create a beautiful card or two.
My hope is to inspire you to be fearless when it comes to your creativity, to try new things and most important to have fun.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
