Hi! This Tag was made for tonight's VSN challenge to make a Baby shower invitation, card or gift tag.
I decided to make a shabby chic gift take! My friend's niece's baby shower is next week and the entire thing is in these shabby chic BROWNS and pinks. She even has a brown and pink dresser for the baby that she bought brand new, and beat up with a chain! SERIOUSLY! She stood in the back yard and whipped it with that big chain. She called it "Faux Antiquing." I kept thinking, why buy a new dresser? Why not get one at the Goodwill or Salvation Army? Heck, I've got a shabby one on my porch that Mark keeps tools in! LOL I'd sell that to her for as a GENIUNE SHabby Chic Antique! LOL
I stamped the image in Adirondack and colored with Memento Markers. I used a butterknife to distress and crushed the cardstock and sponged on color.
Totat time to complete: 39 minutes.
What do you think?
