Friends of WMS Blog Waltz - Shabby Chic!

Welcome to this month's Friend's of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz. The theme for today is shabby chic/vintage. It all starts at the WMS Forum in the Playroom.

Now Shabby Chic is not my forte - I knew I had to use lots of pearls, pastel colors, ribbons and sponging! I think I got them all in on my little box today!

I covered the box with October Afternoon DP's (after sponging!) I adhered lace around the edge of the cover (after sponging!). I made my little rolled flower and leaves out of mulberry paper (yes, after sponging!). I used 3 different WMS stamp sets on my box - Very Vintage Labels No. 10, Victorian Frippery and Fancy Phrases.

So how'd I do with the shabby chic thing??? I think I'm getting the hang of it!

My shabby chic box is quite COLORFUL don't you think?!

Public Service Announcement: Of course there will be prizes!!! One of the Blog Waltz participants will be randomly selected to win a stamp set of choice.

We'll also have a bit of a game going on in the August Blog Waltz Chat thread... a bit different this month...and one of the waltzers who plays will be randomly selected to win a stamp set of choice!
