Shabby Chic

My challenge this week is 'Shabby Chic' so here is my DT card. The main background is made from grungeboard sprayed and over sprayed with Cosmic Shimmers and glitter sprays and run through the Cuttlebug embossing folder Divine Swirls. The curved layer is cut from a Go Kreate die also run through the Cuttlebug Plum Blossom embossing folder and swept over with Worn Lipstick Distress ink. I cut the small flowered die using a spellbinders die,  from aTim Holtz pad and cut the flowers and leaves from the same paper using my new Crealies dies.  I love them. I added glitter and the Hope ticket, coloured in worn lipstick and fired brick to pick out the red in the flowered papers, again from Tim and added a couple of green gem centres to the layered flowers.
This is going to be page one of a little Inspirational book I am creating.
I hope you like it and if you fancy entering my challenge you could win a set of 10  fab cds from my lovely friend Steph at crafting.co.uk.

It's All New to Me

Over on my Challenge Blog I have a new Design Team waiting to welcome you all and here is my card for this week's challenge 'It's All New To Me'.
Anything new would do so I have used my new die by Go Kreate which cuts the actual shape of the card - a find at the NEC in November, and also a new Tim Holtz embossing folder that I love. I used silver glitter card for the base card, the image is a tag from a QVC Christmas kit and I have added the flowers with a little gem centre and some purple ribbon.
See - I am still in Christmas mood so this is also my entry to Crafty Hazelnut's new Christmas challenge blog. I hope you will enter the new challenge at both Hazel's and my challenge blog and have some fun.
