My 2nd try at Shabby Chic. Come join the technique challenge!!! This evolved into something very different from what I was originally thinking. Does it qualify as shabby chic do you think?
The birds are stamped on Confetti white and punched out and adhered to a metal edge tag. Antique cracking BG is stamped on Pretty in Pink with Going Gray, then White craft is applied dtp. Bottom portion is confetti white - roses stamped on and watercolored for wallpaper effect then overstamped with Canvas BG in Going Gray.
In SoCal we have a number of stores and antique malls that sell lots of shabby chic stuff. Always lots of white painted furniture and pink roses. That's the stuff I was thinking of when I started this card. Thanks for looking!!!!

Jami, this is just gorgeous and definitely fits the challenge! There are so many elements that all work together and it's not overdone in any way. Just lovely!
