Simon Says......Shabby Chic!

This weeks challenge at Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is SHABBY CHIC. While I'm not very good at creating shabby chic art on my own, I had to do some searching for some ideas. I'm still not 100% sure this IS shabby chic, but I tried!!! LOL

I used a Sarah Kay image called Spring Blossoms - available at Simon Says Stamp Superstore!!! The papers I used were from SU, but I can't remember the name of the pack. I added in a chocolate chip embossed piece on the side and distressed the edges of the papers. The flowers and rhinestones were all from my stash. I coloured her using Copics.

After looking at this picture I realize I need a ribbon iron - hmmm!!!!



Anyway, I hope you will head to the blog to see what the other DT members have created for you to see & join us on this weeks challenge!!!! There's prizes....always!!!! So hurry, get creating!!!!!

ALSO, Simon Says Stamp is having a DT Call!!! We are looking for 2 new designers to join our fun group of gals!!!!! Check out the blog for more details!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! HAVE a great week!!!!
Chris

Adorable Chris! Love the color combination you used. Don't go buy a ribbon iron - use your hair straightener or curling iron!
