Shabby Chic Dreams

Hi Dreamers!
How is your day going??  Doing great here.  I had some time today to get a couple projects made.   I pulled  out some of my new Gina K Design stamps (Dreams and Lacy Borders sets)  and made this shabby chic card.




This was a fun card to make.  I cut a piece of lace fabric the size of the card base, and glued it onto the card front.   I stamped on Blush Blossom CS (a shell pink color) with brown ink.   I hand cut the edge of the lace stamped piece--not too hard.




I dry embossed a piece of the Blush Blossom CS and layered that onto the card.  I added a layer of blue/green velum under the main image.




Added some tiny pearls on the edge of the lace stamped piece and  tied Glace crochet ribbon next to that.
