Simply Shabby Card Concept 53

Hi friends!  Happy Wednesday!  It's time for another inspiration challenge over at The Card Concept!

I was inspired by the colors and floral patterns to search through my mountain stack of paper pads to find just the right dreamy little shabby chic papers. I then embossed the flower from Simply Amazing on cream cardstock and watercolored, cutting with a circle die and adding a bit of distressing with ink and a paper distresser to the edges.  The flowers are accented with a couple of cabbage roses from my stash and dusted with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

I found a bit of lace that reminded me vaguely of the trim in the photo, then layered my papers together, distressing each with antique linen and vintage photo inks.  For the sentiment. I masked off the "you are" and stamped just the "simply" in soft suede then added the amazing cut with the Amazing Adjectives Word Die Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll take a bit of time to head on over to The Card Concept and see what beauties all the other designers came up with for this pretty inspiration piece.
