One flew over the cuckoo’s nest ~ shabby stylie

Would you believe that I’ve not been in my workshop for about 3 days .. .. I spent the whole weekend shopping with wee Sarah getting her organised for her trip to sunny Spain..

It was good to be back up there tonight, and I made it a hat trick tonight… A card with matching sleeve envelope and tag.

I used quite a few bits and bobs to create the card .. all listed below

• Natural Cardstock from Stampin Up
• Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden 6 x 6 Patterned Paper
• Pink Paislee No. 88 Ephemera Pack
• Seam Binding and Cherry Blossom Flower & Stick Pin from Wild Orchid Crafts
• Lace Doily from Poundland
• Copic Marker in Gold to colour stick pin

Then I made a wee tag to go along with the card, I quite enjoy making everything to match… just seems to make it all complete..

I made the tag with the leftovers from the sheet of 6 x 6 paper that I made the card from, roughed up the edges, added some seam binding and a few flowers and it was done 🙂

The I made the matching sleeve envelope, I used the same cardstock that I used for the card, it used up a whole A4 sheet except for a tiny wee strip that I cut off along the top..

The front was stamped with Versamagic and embossed with Enchanted Gold embossing powder, I wrapped some cotton lace around the whole card and then the same again with seam binding, topped off with a small 10mm rose 🙂

and the final shabby chic trio …
