Doilies and Dahlias

Who can resist some Shabby Chic with a real Victorian touch? We played a little bit with some Gingham Garden Designer Paper and the beautiful Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set.  A doily sponged with Island Indigo and some banner action make us feel like we can almost smell the flowers.

Shabby Chic Doily Dahlia Card

We made good use of layers by merging a couple of different designs from our designer paper and even adding a touch of Gingham Garden Washi Tape to create an interesting banner cut out with a Banners Framelit Die.  The Regarding Dahlias message fits perfectly inside the Bitty Banner Die and we couldn't resist some Linen Thread and a Very Vintage Designer Button to add a nice Victorian touch.  Everything comes together in this card with a base of Island Indigo and our Naturals Ivory Card Stock plays very nicely with our Shabby, Victorian, and Vintage mashup!  Lots of pleasant things going on in this one!  We thank our friend Amy O'Neill at Amy's Paper Crafts for the idea that started this whole creation!  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ™
