Shabby chic card and tag

 
Hello friends..here is a card I made today ..and I am quite happy with it as I made it in a little over 30 minutes :) :)
 


 Used a lot of 'throwaway stuff'. The corrugated paper is from a cardboard box..I peeled off the top layer to expose the corrugated surface then used the peeled part to layer on top of it.. the base of my card and the base of the tag are from a wedding invite .the vintage lace is from a bed sheet ..my aunt gave it to me when she finally decided to throw away the bed sheet.The leaves are again from the same wedding invite ..I cut them into leaves and used antique linen distress ink on edges. The rest of the layering has been done by the packaging paper from the prima stamp set. The roses have been made by me..No dies..just some scissors and old paper..ribbon is from my stash. Applied gesso over the key charm and the roses to tone them down..


the sentiment is handwritten. The beads are from my stash and I acrylic painted them

  2. Hi there Jaya - thank you so much for the comment on my steampunk Christmas card! I saw your name and thought I must pop over to see how your creations are coming along and wow! this is superb!!! I have used cardboard packing before and have peeled off the top layer (isn't it satisfying - lol) This tag looks absolutely full of detail and I really want to 'touch' it to feel all the textures. Just brilliant, I have looked at some of your previous creations and I love them all so I really will make an effort to pop by more often - you know what it's like when time just flies by though!!!

    Big hugs to you and keep on doing more of these creations with the throwaway stuff, they are brilliant.
