Spring Shabby Chic!

One of my favorite type of projects is Shabby Chic.
And two of my favorite colors are purple and green.
So I combined two of my favorite things into one card.
 
 
I used some gorgeous Pion Design paper and some pretty DCWV
Lavendar Chalet green striped paper for the backing.
I added some pretty lace, purple flowers, a tulle bow with a pretty
green button, and lots of sparkly crystals.
 
I used a really pretty Saturated Canary stamp for the centerpiece.

Spooky de Ville!

I want to share a tag that I made using a stamp drawn by Alicia Bel.
 
I absolutely think this is one of the cutest stamps!
 
 
I used some really cute purple harlequin paper from my stash.
I added some "potion" bottles, a skull, a goblet, and some fibers.
The frame was cut from one of my Halloween Cricut cartridges.
I just LOVE this cute little stamp.

Beach Time!!

I want to share a retirement card I just made for a dear friend.
She loves to go to the beach with her sister, so this was the perfect stamp.
I used a lovely Stamping Bella stamp,
and some fabulous Michelle R Designs papers.
 
 

 




 
I used some gorgeous Michelle R Designs Seascape papers with
this wonderful Stamping Bella stamp.
I used a Tim Holtz die for the seahorse and sand dollar.
I applied some Tim Holtz distress ink to some white glittered paper
to create the sand look.
I added some pretty seashells that I had collected from a vacation.
I created the "Beach Rules" from several different fonts.

For the center, I used some very pretty Michelle R Designs Baby Boy paper.
 
This image is just fabulous!

I added a little bit of bronze paint to it as well.
 
I added some metal gears and a metal steampunk flower
and a brass clock face for the added steampunk look.
I roughed up the tag's edges and inked the edges and some of the
