I tried to capture the essence of Sarah's lovely card by using a doily, a pretty flower, some ribbon, and a bit of stitching, all elements that go into making a fabby shabby card imo! The patterned paper for my card is from Fancy Pants, and over top I added a piece I cut from a 12X12 transparency I got in a scrapbook kit a long, long time ago (sorry, don't know who made it).
The chipboard butterfly is from Pink Paislee, and the beautiful cabbage rose is from Frog Feathers Etsy shop. I'm so happy I bought these roses in so many colors, I just LOVE them!
This card was made for a customer of mine for her Mom's birthday, so I personalized it by adding the little "Mom" tag, from Papertrey Ink's Tiny Tags.
Something I hardly ever do is finish the inside of a card, but my customer requested this particular sentiment, from PTI's Signature Series: Dress Form.
I added another Pink Paislee die cut, and the dashed swirly heart stamp is from Wplus9.
And there you have it. I love how this card turned out, and I hope my customer and her Mom do too! I hope you'll all try and channel your "inner Sarah", and play along this week at CASE Study!
