Good Luck! - Cardabilities #104

Time has gone by so fast and I can't believe this is my last post for Cardabilities. It has been a pleasure to work with such amazing and talented designers. Karan's sketches as you all know are so nice to work with and it has been a great honor to be part of her team. Thank you teammates and thank you Karan for having me.

The new sketch is up today and I know you'll be inspired by it!





Materials
Spellbinders: Rose Creations, Carnation Creations, A2 Matting Basics A, Delicate Doilies,
Classic Edges Two, Classic Decorative Inserts Three.
Docrafts Xcut: Leafy Flourishes
Sin City Stamps: Butterfly Mask 
Graciellie Design Paper - Keys & Roses 
Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Embossing.
Inkadinkado embossing powder in Silver
Zap! heat tool
Merletto pearls
Other generic materials
Cardstocks: Leather textured in soft pink, off white and light green. Linen in white. Metallic in pink.
Homemade paste
2" one sided lace
Raffia ribbon in soft white
Pearl stamens in pink

This is a shabby chic card with lots of layers. The main patterned layer was wet and distressed letting show some lace on the background. Also I used some beautiful butterfly masks to stencil, using homemade paste. After that was done, I added the central layers and handmade flowers. The "Good Luck" Spanish sentiment was heat embossed in silver.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card for today and that you feel inspired to join our challenge at Cardabilities. I send a big hug to my fabulous teammates. Know that I am very thankful for the great friends I've made and for the opportunity I was given. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for stopping by!

I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am.
