Shabby Chic Style

Hello everyone!  Sharon W. here, again.  I want to say 'great job' to everyone who played along with us last week.  It will be difficult to select a winner!  But, that's for later.  Lets's focus on this week.  I am hosting another challenge here @ Our Creative Corner.  I want to share some of my passions.  My favorite color combo is pink, aqua, and kraft.  But, my favorite style is shabby chic and vintage.  I just love all things girly.  And so, I wanted to get you inspired with the 'Shabby Chic' style, and hope you create something for this challenge.  

As we welcome the new year, I don't want us to forget things from our past.  So, the challenge this week is to create a paper craft item (3-D piece, a card, a tag, a scrapbook page, etc.)  in a 'Shabby Chic' style.  If you aren't familiar, or just want a guideline, 'Shabby Chic' style is generally characterized by a time-worn look achieved by inking and distressing.  There are layers of softness that can be achieved by the use of ribbon, lace, and crochet trim.  You will need to include feminine embellishments, such as buttons, pearls, glitter, and any other sweet embellishment.

Here is what the design team have created.  We hope we have inspired you!
