Shabby star

Wow! I have really enjoyed making this card!
I love distressing things!
This card just seemed to spring
out of no where,
my hands new what they were doing,
and they obviously had a plan!
*
I have combined this weeks sketch from
Get Sketchy with the sketch from Waltzing Mouse
*


Front view.
has a challenge this week to show
'Lace, pearls and flowers'
(this is my second entry, they have such a great prize!)

Close up view.

'Distressing'
Here you can see the lovley effect of Tim Holtz
clear distress crackle paint,
I then sponged over it with Vintage photo distress inkpad.
The shape comes from spellbinders fancy tags.
Hand Stamped Sentiments has a challenge this week called
'To DIE for'
I have also used a round spellbinder die.
*

Here you can see the paint effect of the star that I cut with a spellbinder,
the effect was made by ripping layers off the cardboard scrap, dabbing with blue paint,
then painting with Tim Holtz distress paint- Picket fence.
The butterfly was made with Martha Stewarts large punch,
its not very easy to see from this photo but
I have painted it with 3D clear gloss finish to give it more depth.

Close up.
The Shabby Tearoom wanted to see 'Buttons and bows' this week.

Scott has been 'helping me' today,
still home from nursery recovering from Pnemonia.
Its hard work being a helper,
Thank you munchkin!
*

The design papers are from BoBunnys 'a gift of love' collection.
I have used brown Bazzil card for the base.
The flowers are from Gardenia and Storyteller.
The bronze heart charm is from 'Kort og Godt'
I have used a Tim Holtz jump ring to attach it.
The dress making pins, vintage blue ribbon scrap and button are from my 'finds box'
The Pearl swirl is from Prima and the lace is from Minnehjørne.
*
The lovley text stamp is from 'stempleglede'
translated from Norwegian to English it reads
'You are one of a kind, look after yourself.'
*
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I am looking forward to finding a new project to start now :O)
Shame it won't be today as I have a PTA meeting this evening :O(
Wishing you all a creative week!
Hugs Nina xx
