Used a different DP collection this time. I was at Winners/HomeSense just before we came up to the lake and I spied some 6x6 paper pads. This is from First Edition Spring Feast. They were only $3.99 for each pad...I bought this one and another one called Song Bird.
Now remember that I am working up here with a very small amount of supplies...and they are dwindling as we speak! I think the Bliss ticket needs chalked or inked or something just to make it coordinate a little better...but with only a small pot of cream acrylic paint, I tried to make it blend by whitewashing the edges slightly. Not perfect but Cèst La Vie!
new, slim style, pop dots. These dots are great as even with the bling diamonds on top they still slide through the post office tester slot!
Card Base - from my stash; Michaels Recollections square, textured, white card sets

Wow, Maureen, I love the soft vintage feel of this pretty card! Wonderful use of your snippets and the supplies you have left!!
Gorgeous card! Love the butterfly and all your pretty rhinestones!!!
Oh the treaded post office tester, I always get in trouble there.
Once I was tolled by a mailman I should quit making my own cards because its to expensive to ship them. Like he was the one paying for IT!
Needles to say, I'm not going back to that Post Office!!!
Have a great Sunday!

Beautiful card and I must get some of those slim pop ups, anything to get a card through the dreaded 'slot':o). I love the white washed look ! This card is so lovely, what a wonderful butterfly and accents!

I'm certainly not tired of your vintage cards. This one is just lovely. Your MB banner showed up beautifully with the patterns in the lanterns. Absolutely loved your butterfly die. And I'll have to check into the slim line popdots...TFS & enjoy your crafting time away from home! Hugs
What a beautiful shabby chic card! I love those cute lanterns!
love Mags B x
Maureen, thanks for the comments on the Madonna card. I appreciate all your suggestions. I was trying - at first - for the metallic framed look, and what I did was not working. Then I wished I hadn't embossed the base, and added a mat for the sentiment. I've had some really good suggestions, for improving the look, which I so appreciate. I was just so tired of trying with this one, and I especially wanted that stamp to be a nice card (if that makes sense!). I think it may get taken apart & I'll try to utilize some of the wonderful ideas people have given. Have a great time on your trip! (and it may be Sept or later before I tackle this one again!!! :-) Hugs
Hi Maureen
What a brilliant use of your snippets.
I think we are far more creative when our crafty stash is "restricted".
Loving the kraft/acrylic look very much.
Love Jules xx
Hi Maureen, lovely card - I like the shabby chic style and pastel shades. I think that when our stash is fairly limited it taxes our ingenuity and creativity and you seem to rising to the challenge brilliantly :) Elizabeth xx
Gorgeous shabby chic card Maureen. Don't know how I missed this - except I have been rather busy and my visits to blogland are a bit hit and miss at the moment! Christine xx
I love those tiny little flowers in the background and that pretty butterfly!
Just popping back to wish you a safe journey tomorrow and a wonderful holiday ... also hope the weather brightens up again for you. Take care and have a great trip. Elizabeth xx
Great finds and at a bargain! Love how the card turned out!
