A Vintage & Shabby Chic Challenge

Hi there! I hope you are having a great day. Mine not so good as I'm a bit under the weather. Been coughing for two days already. I need to see a doctor soon :)

Today I'm going to share with you a card I made for the Moxie Fab Stretch Your Holiday Style: A Vintage and Shabby Chic Challenge.  Cath asked us to create either a shabby chic or vintage project and I went for shabby chic. If you know me, you know my style is not shabby chic nor vintage. And I struggled quite a bit for this card. Initially, my card is fo the Classy & Elegant challenge but somehow it looked more like shabby chic.



The paper are some leftover from last year's Christmas. Was it from Basic Grey? I can't remember anymore. The snowflake were traced from a template and hand cut from a thin chipboard. I painted it with white dimensional glue and sprinkled lots of glitter dust on it. It looked very shimmery in real life. The brads on the snowflake is from Bo Bunny which I had for almost a year.

So what do you think? Does it look like shabby chic to you?? I certainly hope so :)
