Not really grasped the shabby chic look - every time I try it, I think I've just made a mess. So is this shabby enough to class as shabby chic? Have I gone far enough? Feedback please!

Thanks for all the lovely comments!!! LisaM, I wet the paper thoroughly, then crumpled it up tightly. Spread it out and dried it with my heat gun. Then I rubbed the pad over the top and it inked the "highest" parts. It was a bit scary to do so much "damage" to the cardstock, but it was pretty creased to start with so I didn't feel like I was spoiling a good bit!!!
