I can't quite get the hang of 'shabby'. I've distressed to edges of the bp and inked it but it still doesn't look that shabby to me. Perhaps I should have kicked it around the garden a bit before posting it on here. Anyhow - I made this card for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - 'Celebrate with a Touch of Vintage'.It's Rainbow Lady's 200th challenge this week so do try to join in. The bp is from a pack of paper I got when I first watched Create and Craft - several years ago now and I've still got quite a lot left. The image - which is my vintage bit is from Joanna Sheen's ATC Assistant - and because it's from a cd I thought it would fit in quite nicely with The CD Sunday Challenge 'Ring a Roses'. Ribbon and flower from my stash, the 'stalk' is a Marianne die and the computer generated text sits on a Wizard die cut ribbon slider.
Thank you for visiting today. The sun's got round the front now so I'd best plant some of the stuff I brought with me from the last house.

This is very pretty and I especially like your ribbon and slider with the sentiment.
Afternoon Beryl. You have certainly completed our challenge for a Ring of Roses. Love the hat. I know what you mean about -What is Shabby? I had that problem when we did Shabby and Chic.
Thank you for joining us and good luck with the planting.

I find shabby hard to do too Beryl - you did make me smile with your 'kick it round the garden' comment. It's a great card anyway.

I can't do shabby chic/distressed very well,some people like Fluer are just fabulous at it,we all have our own style . I think your card is very pretty and most elegant.

Hi Beryl.
Just been catching up with your gorgeous cards after having a little Easter blogging break.
I love the idea of chucking a card round the garden to make it shabby!!
I love your style, we all do things differently so I wouldn't worry. She's a very elegant lady isn't she.
Hope you got your plants in while it was fine.
hugs Lisax
A lovely image, I think this card is perfect with just a hint of shabby chic!

Great card Beryl, love the kick it around the garden idea. Might try that as I struggle with shabby as well lol

A very elegant lady, and a beautiful card. Please don't kick it around the garden though, it's far to nice for that.

Its so pretty and elegant Beryl!
Fab card Beryl, love the ribbon and slider too, I always have trouble with shabby or distressed look, I can't bear to deliberately distress something, i'm making something new and want it to look pristine. Thanks for sharing with us at CD Sunday, Wendy x
Oh Beryl - I laughed out loud when I read your idea for distressing (ie; kicking it around the garden)!! I know what you mean though, but your card is so beautiful, it really doesn't need anything else (not even a kick around the garden)!!
Hope you have a happy weekend - hugs, Sylvia xx
A beautiful card. I love the main image. Caz
beautifully gorgeous! love the elegance and the vintage feel, hugs Juls
