Shabby Chic

I can hardly make Shabby Chic style of cards...thou I like them but its not what I usually make. Here I made ,a card for the Penny Black At All Sorts Blog. I used the corner folding technique, which I have been enjoying seeing at Jill's blog. Thanks Jill for the inspiration. Pls. click on the photo for a sharp view.
I really enjoyed getting inky. Lots of embossing, coloring, distressing, emboss resist...total fun and I am so happy with the result too. On that note emboss resist is the theme at Lily Pad Blog....take a dip in the pond...Oh!!! its too hot here and I could not Resist the Resist. Thats why I was so anxious to dip in;) This card started with all white card stock/base.

The perfect pearl and flower soft looks clear in the above photo.
I am also submitting it for the challenge at YCU Blog, since its all about coloring the stamped image. Lovely blog...check for yourself...you'll love it.
Thanks for stopping by. I will be back in a while with 2 more cards :)
