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.

Feeling Krafty

Fran's turn to dare this week at Daring Cardmakers';

This week I'd like you to be...

Feeling Krafty

I'd like you to use 'natural' items on your projects, ie. wood, leaves, kraft card, balsa wood, cork, burlap, rope, natural twine etc. The choice is endless, you just need a bit of imagination!

There is a catch though - you must use 3 natural items not just a bit of kraft card!

This is my Krafty concoction;



I used Kraft card, a Kraft tag, burlap (die cut with a Tim Holtz on the edge die), natural twine, wooden button, cotton thread and cotton lace (from The Ribbon Girl)as my natural items. I also used an ATC from here - I added glitter to the spider's web with Kuretake clear Wink of Stella pen, Gingham ribbon from The Ribbon Girl, Basic Grey Archaic papers and a rose coloured with ProMarkers.

You can see the cards made by the DT here - and they are amazing!

TFL!
