Shabby Pink

Good Morning All
Todays card is out of my comfort zone.  I dont really do distressed and shabby but John Next Door does some beautiful creations using his distress inks and sandpaper etc.  He gave me a card blank on Sunday and said 'see what you come up with using this' so here it is.  He had done the stitching round the edges and roughed the edges up.
It is not too shabby but I cant help but want everything symetrical.  I even diecut the flowers and scrunched them up then inked them over, totally alien for me but I may get used to it!!!!  You cant see it too well on the pic but the trellis diecut has been cut from Core-dinations card and distressed too.

    Stunning work Wendy and what a coincidence I've also blogged a pink card today using the same die.

    Lovely card. I know it is hard to step out of our comfort zones. Some of my best cards have come from that. Thanks for joining our Anything Goes Challenge this week at Created With Love Challenges

    I'm with you Wendy I don't do shabby chic but yours turned out really pretty, and pretty enough I may try one. Great die cuts too.
    Thanks for playing along with us at Created with Love Challenges.
