pretty shabby chic

Good morning to you! I hope you are well and happy! Its strange here this week - most schools have started their holidays but my girls don't break up until Friday - its quite strange but I think we're having the better holidays. They had an Easter activity day today - and tomorrow we're taking in the Easter bonnets they have made - there's going to be an Easter Bonnet parade on Friday and prizes too! Here's Lucy and Penny in theirs.



Today I've got a card to share with you that I made with the premium brands challenge in mind - this fortnight the theme is shabby chic. I have used pan pastels in making my card.


I made the background up first by applying translucent embossing paste through a diamond stencil from imagination crafts then when dry painting over the card with gesso mixed with metallic pan pastels - it was the bronze one I used and to my surprise it gave this lovely pinky colour. 


Then I did some background stamping using a set from Crafty individuals. I added the lace (also from crafty individuals) and the mannequin - this was from the lovely and very talented kezzy - thankyou xxx I added the coat hanger and the wings which a diecut and the flower on the mannequin which was made using a modgepodge mould (from that craft place) and maimeri medium mixed with copper pan pastels. The sentiment was stamped using a clarity alphabet and the flowers came from thatcraftplaceThat Craft Place.
