Love always

The bond with a true dog is as lasting

as the ties of this earth

will ever be 

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a shabby chic card that I have created.

My card features a painting of my beautiful girl Roxie {aka the Sugar Bear!} of when she was a puppy. Roxie is a Staffordshire bull terrier & is Eleven years old now. I love her so much and she truly is my soulmate. You can find out more about my darling girl HERE.

 I have created my card using this darling painting of Roxie, which I designed myself.

To start, I have used some kraft cardstock as a base & I have also used lots of layers with these papers:

Shabby pink ruler ~ My porch prints.

Vintage pink lace papers~ Romantica arts.

Vintage music sheet ~ from my own stash.

I wanted to create a lovely shabby chic design for my card, so I have used lots of French vintage lace. To finish, I added some beautiful shabby pink roses and a word label that I designed myself.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own shabby chic card!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Christmas in August!

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! I know that it's only August but I wanted to start my Christmas creations early! I thought I would share my design team vintage Reindeer tag that I have created for this month's challenge over at Crafting from the art challenge. The theme this month, is as always ATG. We would love for you to join our challenge!

To make my card, I have used this beautiful vintage star paper. and music sheet from my own stash. I have also used some torn corrugated card.

This beautiful image is from Graphic Market place.

Here I have used frayed cheesecloth and some snowflake die cuts. I also ran the snowflakes through an embossing folder to give them more interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den; I really appreciate your visit and lovely comments!
