A Forever Card

Hi,
Good Morning everyone, its Sachi here and today is my turn for the DCAM Challenge Inspiration . I hope this card gets your creative MOJO going !

I started the card with the black linen textured card stock from Die Cuts & More , i think it gives a very sturdy base to a project.
Lots of intricate dies from Memory Box and Cheery Lynn have gone into this card !The delicate swirls and the gorgeous heart are all Memory Box dies , Die Cuts & More has an amazing and a huge collection of these beauties . And yes best of all the Cheery Lynn Sweet Williams strip,it a must add die if you love making handmade flowers .Here's a closeup-

The blooms have been  colored with Spun Sugar distress marker with the white center pollen from Die Cuts and More . Adding fine brush strokes is a lot easier with the distress markers.

I wanted to use this antique watch which i  fussy cut from the Prima Engraver Papers , apart from giving a vintage touch it also adds as an embellishment.The background on which the sentiment pieces have been stamped have been distressed with Frayed Burlap, Antique linen and some gesso.

I hope I have inspired you to make a shabby chic creation for our ongoing Challenge No 2#-Shabby Is Chic, so keep the awesome entries coming  . And let me know if you like my card , would love to hear from you . And don't forget to check the crafty supplies beneath .

Thanks for stopping by , Have a great day ahead !
