Shabby Tea Room #102

This week's Shabby Tea Room challenge was to use the colours in their gorgeous inspiration photo,

and a doily, and inspired by the pink bloom, and the duck egg blue that I used for the lettering, accent paper and gem, I made this;

I used Kesi'art and MME papers, Prima, Kesi'art, and Ribbon Girl flowers, a Wilton doily- coloured with a satin ProMarker, OA letters, Kesi'art butterfly die - I glittered the die cut with a brown Kuretake Wink of Stella pen, Prima pearl, a scrap of Studio Calico Tissue and an envelope and mini peg from stash.

TFL!

Marie Antoinette

Sharon dared us this week at Daring Cardmakers' with the awesome theme of Marie Antoinette;

I want to see your Vintage Parisian/Palace of Versailles creations as this week's theme is

Marie Antoinette

There are lots of possibilities with this theme - your card doesn't necessarily have to feature the Queen herself, but can be in a Baroque/Palace of Versailles style, or something inspired by the fantastic gowns and wigs she wore. Or, you could even opt for a 'let them eat cake' inspired card (even though she apparently never actually said that!)

This is my make - a Bon Voyage/Road trip card, made using a map of Paris and Versaille found on t'internet as a backdrop, and 'actual' French scrapbooking papers and journalling cards.

I used Kesi'art Itinérance papers and journalling card, MME Miss Caroline Howdy Doody "Like" Ledger paper, Melissa Frances 5th Avenue Ebony paper, Ikea tape measure, Ribbon Girl and Kesi'art paper flowers, Ribbon Girl leaf and seam binding, Papermania eyelets, Tattered Angels chipboard frame (coloured with a promarker and glittered), Mark Richards pearls, cuttlebug and nestability dies, Melissa Frances rub on, staple, hand stitching and inking.
