Shabby Chic, in particular, is generally based around pastel colors such as pink, blue, mint, and soft lemon or lavender. It often includes flowers, pearls or rhinestones, ribbons, and generally contains some distressing. (Distressing is the art of making something look old, even though it's new.)
Go to this link on Pinterest for a great example of shabby chic.
I just adore this style of cardmaking, and use it a lot.
Taking into consideration my friend's style preferences, this is the card I made for her.
My friend loved her card, as I knew she would (simply because of the style).

The card looks beautiful, but all the cards you make are so lovely. I have three of them sitting on my sideboard.

Thanks Margaret. I really love this one, which is unusual as I'm always so critical of my cards. (We're our own worst critics for sure!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I especially love the flowers. I wish you would have expanded a bit and told us how you made it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Roseanne. I do have some brief details on my cardmaking blog, but not a lot. You can check it out here:
