Shabby chic collage

 

The Double D Challenge is to do a shabby chic design. That's not my typical style, for sure, but that's what makes it a challenge.  I made a shabby-chic/vintage collage.

I started with a piece of patterned paper with an extremely realistic pattern of buttons. (Did it fool you?) On top of that I layered white rick rack (which ended up getting almost completely covered as I progressed), some postage themed ephemera, a torn ticket, and an acrylic oval sentiment. Then I die-cut a few Tim Holtz wildflowers and sponged them with light pink and pale green inks.  A brown piece of baker's twine finishes it off.

This card is entered in these challenges:

Double D -- vintage/shabby chic
