Shabby Accents Blog Hop

Welcome to the Shabby Accents Blog Hop!


If you have arrived here from Ashley's blog you are on the right track. If not, please start HERE.

The shabby chic style has been around for many many years, originating from Great Britain, where time worn items were showcased in most country homes. Today’s essence of shabby chic is to achieve that time worn layered vintage look from yesteryear by painting, distressing, dying or tea staining. Now we bring it to you right from our craft tables.

Please follow along as the following crafters showcase their handmade Shabby Chic Accents. Be sure to visit each blog, as each artist will be having a giveaway. Also, we have a couple of awesome sponsors who have generously donated for a “Grand Prize Giveaway”. Their shops are full of shabby goodness. To qualify, all you have to do is become a follower if not already and leave a comment on each blog stating you are a follower, or have become one.

Sa Crafters-$20.00 Gift Certificate

Now on to my project:

My card today is made with Cheeky Cherry Pie from the Greeting Farm. I've been using this stamp to practice coloring hair, and I think I'm getting a little better. Shabby Chic is not really my strong suit, so I tried to use lots of embellishments. The striped paper is from Graphic 45 and it's flocked for texture. The silk ribbons are from Michaels, and the lace is from MB Treasurista. The ribbon I bough from MB Tresurista was too bright to match the paper, but the lace was a free gift with purchase, and it worked out well. I also used blue and platinum Liquid Pearls right above the green ribbon, and a Prima flower on the bow. The flourishes I cut with my Cricut using the Straight from the Nest cartridge.


I also have some blog candy! I am giving away 2 magazines! To enter please leave a comment on my blog. You must be a follower to win!
