A Shabby Tea Room SFYTT



Finally getting to this month's Sketch For You To Try.  Always reminds me how quickly the month goes by!

I used this week's sketch to make a birthday card for my mom.  I combined it with this week's  Shabby Tea Room inspiration picture as I just love pink and green together and this K & Company paper by Brenda Walton is a perfect fit.

I had to roll around in all the Andrea Ewen Diva Dust I could find in order to get the where-with-all to make this card.  She is the queen of floral/shabby cards and though this doesn't come close to her gorgeous creations, it is a big stretch for me and I fairly happy with the outcome.  Hopefully my mom will be happy with it as well LOL!

Thanks for dropping by and have a fabulous weekend!

 

What's In It?
Stamps: Love Deepens (Verve)
Paper: Madeline (K & Company), Sage Shadow, Cream Linen, Mellow Moss, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink
Ink:  Black
Accessories:  Rolled Rose Die (MFT), Leaf Punch (Martha Stewart),  Lace, Half Pearls, Seam Binding, Button, Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

What a beautiful creation for your Mom. I love that inspiration picture and would love to have time to play in the Shabby Tea Room challenges. Your card is a perfect reflection of the inspiration picture. What a beauty!

Ooooh! Pink and green, you know I'm lovin' that! So soft and pretty! The ribbons and flowers are just incredible. I like the added touch of ribbon on the top corner, nice detail!

Another beautiful card. I love the lace on this one. I am so taken with it. I love lace because it reminds me of my sweet grandma. Great job Marisa.
