Pretty Printer's Tray

I just had to share this printer's tray that one of my customer's surprised me with at Saturday's card workshop! The shabby chic details and color scheme are just perfect for me. What a fabulous surprise!

These are a few of my favorite boxes~

My daughter loved the chandelier too~

This is totally me! My childhood nickname was "birdie" and it's so fitting that this one guards the nest and takes care of her young!

I have the best customers {& friends} ever!! : )

Shabby Chic Butterfly

Isn't this a fun sketch! I just had to play along! I used the sketch just as you see it starting with a base of textured chocolate card stock. I stamped flourished images on it and then lightly sanded. For the next layers I used a mixture of ribbon and card stock. Instead of just a square for the center piece I chose to use a Spellbinders die then embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder. The finishing touch is my Tulip butterfly complete with hemp antenna and opaque pearl body. The overall look of my card, I believe, is so shabby chic!
