A little shabby spring

Hello Friday~

**A Big Wohoo I am so excited this card was chosen as The Shabby Tea Room Winner of the Week**

I was inspired this week by the current inspiration at The Shabby Tea Room. You choose at least three of your colors from the paint jars in the photo which was placed on a wooden floor I presume. You also were asked to incorporate dry embossing. The photo can be seen at bottom of post.

For my embossing, I used the letter press technique using my wood impression plate. I started with a vintage cream card layer but used a brayer to run a darker ink on my impression plate prior to setting my cream card stock down before running it through my Big Shot. It goes nicely with my Kraft card base.

Next, I added layers of patterned paper adding some white paint to the bottom which represent the paint bottles in the photo. Some aqua ric rac was added along with some vintage seam binding tied in a fussy bow finished with a button and curly twine. My Sentiment is from Wilson Designs Lacey Lovelies

Here the focus is on the tag and flower that was created from some soft pink felt. I stamped the polk-a-dots from Wilson Designs Scoot Away With Me at the bottom and added some yellow twine to the base. I created a felt flower by using a blossom spellbinder die.
