I must say that I am having a shabby good time with these challenges from The Shabby Tea Room Blog! The challenges are putting me back in touch with my shabby chic side! I love the combination of a big floral print with a stripe with a checked pattern all in a beautiful muted color pallette. Does anyone else remember when shabby chic was all the rage? I loved loved loved Rachel Ashwell and her show and her books.
So, another week in the Shabby Tea Room contest for me! You can find their blog by clicking here. Go check it out…or better yet…enter a card too! This weeks rules only called for the use of chipboard. I went through my giant bin of chipboard shapes and found…a teacup! Also a cute little heart. That got me started, and served as my inspiration.
Here's a close up of the chipboard tea cup and heart. I covered the tea cup shape with patterned paper to look like an antique. Then I inked the edges with brown ink. I painted the tiny heart with salmon colored craft paint and then covered it in glitter to add a pop of sparkle. I had the button, ribbon and the rose in my bag of tricks already.
The process begins…
I am in LOVE with this blue paper. It is actually flocked and furry!! MMMMM.

Wanda … love it, love it — {heart} it a LOT! So much shabby goodness on your card! That tea cup is just precious and the DSP with the large cabbage roses is so yummy!
