Shabby Beautiful!

Hi there Friends!

I am very honored and excited to be the guest designer this week over at
The Shabby Tea Room!  I was awarded this great opportunity due to my win for the challenge on week #106.  The theme this week is "Shabby Beautiful"!  Debbie is the host this week and were to use the colors PINK, AQUA, neutrals, flowers, and make it SHABBY! 

Here is the lovely inspiration photo to get those creative juices flowing...
I got my inspiration from the lovely tea cups and gorgeous flowers!  I stamped the tea cup
image onto musin fabric and adhered it to chipboard.  It was placed over roses that were
fussy cut.  A lovely Tattered Angels frame is behind the roses for added dimension.
Doily, lace, and buttons along the bottom of the card for more interest.  Some yummy
seam binding from Deb's Simple Treasures was placed to finish off the card. 

Supplies:

Paper:  Cosmo Cricket
Stamp:  Tea Cup(Waltzing Mouse and sentiment)
Stamped Roses:  (Close to My Heart)
Ink:  SU(Regal Rose), Ranger(Tea Dye)
Flower:  Prima
Frame:  Tattered Angels
Ribbon:  debssimpletreasures
Twine:  PTI
Lace, Doily:  Jo-Ann Fabric
Buttons:  American Crafts
