WOW!!! I am back!!! I have had some ear issues with my allergies so I lay low for a few days. I am feeling a lot better. Of course, I am alittle bit behind with some of the challenges I like to participate in so I am combining a few.
Today's SCS Ways to Use It Challenge (WT239) Around the World works beautifully with Verve's VLVOCT01 which is a sketch with a twist. The twist is shabby chic. So, Europe here I come!!! WooHoo!!! Thanks, Julia and Amber!!!
I am also combining this with Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C5) to sew on a card. Thanks, Vicki(summerthyme) for this challenge!! Whether it is real or faux add some stitches. I did attempt a different faux stitching look than I normally do.
No dp was used in the making of this card. I stamped all of the backgrounds and panel pieces. I added texture and sponging to further show a shabby chic vintage look.
