I did a card for DTGD the other day using Kraft with this flourish in white so I started my sample card for this week's sketch with a similar idea. I stamped my flourishes in white craft ink and embossed in white ep (wish I'd done vanilla instead). I stamped my spatter and then sponged over the embossing and along the distressed edges. I rolled a bit of the edge too. I used my lace and burlap ribbon on an angle adding my Lost Lagoon ribbon for a color pop. I punched a Lagoon circle then distressed, crumpled and sponged it. I diecut my dictionary page leaves and added some Grunge stamping in Suede. My flowers have the tiny flower stamped in Lagoon on Vanilla. I then lined up my punch to make these the centers. I used my Crumb Cake marker to add color to the very center and also sponged and stamped spatter on them as well as my sentiment. I popped the sentiment as well as one of the flowers. This will go to a couple whose wedding we had to skip the other weekend. They had a burlap and lace theme.

Ha Gail, we did have the same color theme on our minds!! I love your shabby chic creation. I find this technique so hard to do, but you have nailed it. Love it!!
