Thank you to everyone who joined in last weeks challenge I loved seeing each and everyone of them, we had a brilliant week
Now to this weeks challenge and maybe you are saying ...... Whats Shabby Chic
Shabby Chic refers to a type of design that looks a bit old and worn, the style is imitated by rubbing or sanding away , some times fabric is stained with tea to give it a look of old fabric the same can be done with paper and card.
The essence of Shabby Chic is usually vintage or antique looking
I decided to try something different this week and found these 2 projects in one of my French craft mags, I hope you like them
I distressed the green card with brown and gold ink pads, the 2 photgraphs are very old photo's of my grandfather and great grandfather and the baby is my grandmother
If you would like to join in please add a comment to this thread and a link to your work so we can all come and take a look

I love all of your illustrations. I was just plain stumped on this one as I don't know much about "aging" the cards. But suddenly, I spied an antique on my desk that had been a book marker for a few years.....and I used it. So enjoy....
HERE is my card this week
Your projects are great. This is my first entry to one of your challenges. My card can be found HERE
