Giving thanks for shabby chic

Shabby chic

a style using worn and deteriorated items to achieve an elegant overall effect

~ Urban Dictionary

One of the things I love most about creating is being able to play with lots of different design styles, techniques and media.  I love love love shabby chic.  I could never live in a house decorated in a shabby chic style, but when creating, I'm able to explore that side of me which loves all things shabby chic.

About 12 months ago I created three shabby chic cards as a set of cards for a cyber crop challenge (there's another thing I love LOL ... cyber crops!!).  I was delighted to have two of them picked up for publishing.  Despite the time that has passed, the second card has only recently been published, so I am only now able to share them with you ...

Thank you
