I Count You Twice

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with another shabby chic card.  I just love playing with pretty papers!

This one uses a sentiment from the Friendship is a Blessing set. I started with some scraps of Georgia Blues Prima paper, adhering them together, then lightly scraping with gesso to mute the colors a bit.  I then stenciled with a dot fade pattern in weathered wood distress oxide, adding sponging all around the edges.  A scrap of lace covers the seam of my two papers.

I used another scrap of paper for  the rectangle pattern, also adding a bit of gesso and sponging.  The sentiment is stamped onto a gessoed cardstock circle and then sponged and stenciled.  My finishing accents were a bit of wrinkled seam binding, some paper flowers, and an ephemera bird image.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulously creative day.
