Time for Tea

Good Morning
It is a lovely spring Monday down here, with sunshine, although still a bit of chill in the air for the moment, but the temperature will rise definitely.


The ladies at Top Tip Tuesday tried to define "Shabby Chic" this week. Finally I came to the conclusion that it is an old time romantic feeling. This is where my card started to get form. Though I did not use a lot of broken white, I could not resist this faded olive green paper from TOGA, which I matched with a faded pink, lace and pearls. The diecuts(circle, flowers and stem) is creatables from Marianne's design and the corners from Cuttlebug. The digi is from Digi my World and the sentiment from Bird's cards. I've coloured the image with aquarelles and distressed it with chalk.




I'm entering my card in the following challenges:


Top Tip Tuesday #49 - What is Shabby Chic?


Digi my World #1 - Anything goes




Craft your Passion # 74 - Anything goes if a flower is added


Crafty Creations #134 - Use at least 3 diecuts or punches


Charizma Cardz # 35 - Anything goes




Wish you all a piece of sunshine today!


Thank you for your visit.
