Make a project in the Shabby Chic style and link up on the Vintage Stamping Challenge Blog.  Your project must have some stamping.

 Instructions:

• Cut a piece of corrugated cardboard to size and tear the top layer of brown paper off exposing the ridges
• Paint the cardboard with Lumiere and crackle paints
• Let dry
• Add the crochet lace and tie ribbon around cardboard

• Make the background paper with a Gelli plate/or use a piece of distressed CS
• Stamp the Flowers Engraving stamp onto Vanilla CS by inking the stamp with both Aged Mahogany and Victorian Velvet inks
