Hello! Today is another day for a Weekly Wednesday La-La Land Challenge. This week is hosted by Irina who asked us to create a Shabby Chic style card. Thank you Irina for the great challenge!
This was not an easy task for me even though I love this Shabby style. But I have never made a card like this… so please bear with me… If I understand correct this style is all about distressing, sponging, lots of layers and warm colors. I started with the papers that I had for a very long time (K&Company). Then I inked up stamp Whiskers Sleeping from La-La Land Crafts. After coloring it, I added some sponging using distress inks. Tried to create an illusion of the sky background, but no luck here… Really admire other craftes’ talents who can do it beautifully.
Anyway here is how my card turned out. Shabby? Chick? I don’t know… But it was my first try. So, for real inspiration please stop at La-La Land blog and have a look at all of the gorgeous cards by DT and Guest DT ladies. We hope that you will join us this week too and show us how Shabby Chick can inspire you. It is always a pleasure to see what you will come up with!
That is all for now. Thank you so much for spending some time with me. I appreciate all your time and attention.
Have a wonderful day,
Elena
Я тоже не разбираюсь в шебби-шик.Мне кажется,что это стилизация псевдопотёртости,т.е. иллюзии старой вещи.
Но открытка с котиком,в каком бы стиле не была,очень приятная.Этакий любимец семьи настаждается покоем,чтобы потом поиграть с хозяйкой.
No way…could there be a cuter image than this!!! La-La Land has really come out with some adorable images…and you, my dear, know what makes them stand out!!! Hope you and yours are doing well Elena!
SWEET Kitty.
This is SO adorable, Elena! You are really making some super cute cards w/ this little kitty! I love how you added the pearls in the semi-circle, too! So pretty!
I think you did a wonderful job Elena! I love that sweet kitty image and the way you made the sky behind her and that sweet bird!
Hugs,

Напомнила мне эта веселая открытка один мультик из детства: про Кешу, да помню я, что он попугай, и кот там был такой кабанчиком и рыжий, ага, но с такой же милой мордахой!
Very CUTE!!! LOVE your coloring and your choices of paper and embellishments!!
Hugs!!
