I would like to thank everyone who participated in the last challenge. I hope you enjoyed working with the sketch. I will post the winner of the blog candy later today.
For today's challenge I chose the theme "Shabby Chic". If you are unsure what chabby chic is, this is what it means to me: distress a card (or project) by sponging, tearing or distressing the edges etc. and then add some pretty elements to it, like pearls, rhinestones, maybe a fancy ribbon. (Kind of antique-y and pretty).
There are so many ways to make a card look shabby chic. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
***I am going to give away 2 digital images from the Digital Stamp Oasis to one lucky winner!***
To have a chance at winning, you have to
1. make a card using the theme and use at least one digital image. It can be from any company!
2. Post your card to your blog with a link to this challenge
3. Leave a comment with a link to your project.
You can submit your card until April 21st. 8am US central time. I will choose a random winner.
Good luck and I hope you will participate!
And here is my card for your inspiration.

Please leave a comment with a link to your creation, a random winner will be announced next tuesday.

Hi Ellie, Thanks for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower. Shabby Chic is my current love, and I have many examples on my blog. But I don't have any digi images and am slammed for time this week so I probably won't be joining this challenge. However, I will enjoy seeing what others post and maybe discover some new shabby chic blogs in the process.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie,
ReplyDeleteMy card is done too!

Beautiful card, I love the images and the embellishments that you have used. It all pulled together quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteoh goodness, I had best hurry and put together a card for the challenge! I am sooooooo shabby with my cards, so this is the perfect one for me to do! I don't have any of your digi images yet, so I will use one of my freebies from a different mfg. for now, if that is acceptable.
ReplyDeletethanks for the opportunity to play along! :)
