Shabby Chic or Vintage at LhoSM

It's been a beautiful day here today: bright sunshine until about an hour ago, but bitterly cold - the car is still covered with frost from last night.  I've been hurling logs into the log-store this afternoon (it's way too cold to stack them neatly!) so I feel quite virtuous. Plus the house always feels more cosy when you come in from the cold, doesn't it?

We've got a new challenge starting over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia.  This fortnight our theme is

Shabby Chic or Vintage

 

I went for my hAnglar stamps for my DT card:

 

 

 

 

I also broke out the DIs again and really enjoyed painting these two cuties. The papers are from my stash but I think they're from a Glitz paper pad.  I stitched them around the edges in my usual fashion (ie. never knowing stitiched in a straight line!) and I used a mixture of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is by Magnolia and is stamped using Weathered Wood DI.   I've added Glamour Dust, Stickles and Frantage for sparkle and more sparkle.  The corners, from Live and Love Crafts, were also given the Frantage treatment.

 

 

I do hope you can join in at LhoSM this fortnight. We are being sponsored by the fantastic
