Hi bloggers! I just love these colours together, not sure what it is but brown just seems to fit with lavender to produce a soft warmness that I can't pass up! You do need to get to the close up pic but I stamped the lace medallion all over the background of the lavender card to add some interest. I used a clear perfect medium pad to give it a simple watermark effect. I stamped the lace background using a coffee archival ink pad on milk card. I lightly inked it with Antique linen distress ink to soften and age it. I cut it out by hand (yes we still do that from time to time! LOL) I stamped the medallion with coffee archival and cut it out with the matching die from Justrite. I stamped the sentiment and frame from the Valentine tag set and cut it out with the matching die from the Antique tags set. I layered up all three pieces. To give it a bit more of a shabby chic look, I decided on torn flowers of varying shades of lavender. I used brown brads for the centres. I added a scrunched bow tied from brown seam binding and a small tied jute bow peeking out from underneath for texture. I pierced the edges of the brown mat to create a frame and add balance to the card. Are you liking these colours too? Finished Dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Such a beautiful card - haven't got the dies but am waiting delivery of the medaillon stamps, so shall try something on those lines. Wouldn't have thought of putting the colours together but now that I see them, they're lovely.
Hi Sue, it is so hard to think of new words to use to describe the cards you post, so I'm gonna have to stick with ones I've used before . This card is brilliant, stunning, fabulous. Love the colour combo . Lol Lynne M and fur babies, who unlike me can't get enough of the snow x x x
Love the design and colours used on this card. I've got the stamps but not the dies yet but I'm going to have a go at making a similar card todaym beats going out in the snow.

Hi Sue
I think that Nadine hit the nail on the head when she said '10 out of 10!' A lovely card Sue.
Well here in my small village in Kent we have 5 inches of snow and I can hardly see my black car and for one am not leaving the house - nor are my neighbours it would seem! LOL! There has not been any movement this morning at all and usually by now cars are zooming off to work! :)
Take care Sue

I would never have put today's colours together but oh don't the work wonderfully. I really do wish I had bought the lace meds now but next time I will. It's snowing heavily here in Burgundy so just the bird tables to top up and then it's a full on crafting day for me - what more could I want!!

Hi Sue

Lovely card and colours.
I'm not sure about the coffee archival ink It doesn't look dark enough to me Whereas the bow really looks dark and a much better contrast which I like Prob looks brill in the flesh x
Not a colour choice i would have choosen but it really works well, beautiful stamp as well xx gail from eastbourne
Good morning Sue
Love the design of this card very much but sorry I am not a fan of the darker colours. At last we have snow up here in the Lake District white everywhere! So,so, lovely to look out on from my warm craft room!

When I was 13 we moved i house and my bedroom had a dark brown carpet. The walls needed painting and I was asked to choose a colour, and I chose lilac because I thought it went with the brown. Your card reminds me of that room, which in a year or two was covered in posters! Love the colours and the lace, fab card. Maddy xxx
fabulous colours and i think this would look lovely framed on the wall. Emma
This bought back memories for me, my Aunt used to knit tea cosy's and my favorite was always the brown and lilac ones.
Lovely card
Mol x
Love the Shabby chic look, really affective.
Jane xx
Love the design Sue, but hate the colour combo - Uggh! I'd put lavender with any shade of green rather than brown.
morning Sue, very shabby chic, like everyone else I would not have thought about putting these colours together
Have a great day, take care Jess xx
Morning Sue
Would never have put these two colours together! They look very effective and make a great card
June x
I am liking the colours together. Very vintage and makes a change from a brown/pink combo.
'morning Sue, love the card and colour combo; I'm still not into stamping yet but Julie my daughter in law is. Mabex
Not sure it´s my color to be honest, but I love the lay out in the card, it´s gorgeous.
Morning Sue - Sorry but I'm not sure about this one, too heavily embellished for me.
Val C xx
Morning Sue I love these colours I would never thought of this combo but it works well.
What a beautiful card, Sue. I love the shabby flowers. You've inspired me to make a "just because" card for my best friend xx
Beautiful card this morning. Have been wondering whether to buy these stamps and dies. Seeing this card you have made my mind up to buy.
Hi Sue
Love the colour and the messy bow,
lovely.
Best Wishes

Hello Sue, A stunning card, shabby chic right up my street, love the colour combo and like other bloggers would not have thought of putting them together. The lace stamp is fabulous and the torn flowers gorgeous.
Have a great day everyone.

Wow you have done it again! Another stunning card. do love that large stamp and the colours go so well together. Love it!
love Jean xxxx
Love the card not too sure about the colours but the style is lovely beautiful stamps Jean Z xx
Beautiful card Sue. Fantastic shabby chic look & the lavender & brown go so well together! It does give it that lovely warm feel to it. I suppose it's a reminder to use the colour brown more often. Grey is another colour that isn't used very often... mmmmm, will have a look at that a bit later..... yellow would be one, red too......anyway, I'm babbling! This is also a reminder to us too to use the stamps that we have to make a background from. It's stunning Sue xx Love Karen xx
Ps, I meant colours that would go with grey....! xx Love karen xx
Love the colour combination and the stamps are fab xx
Good morning. Gosh, this is such a lovely card. Very French looking, must be the lavendar and lace! Excellent. xx
yes ., love the colours & of course love the card too.
Hi Sue. This is a great card today. I love the lacey background stamp. The colours you have used look great together too. I know you like to make your own shabby chic flowers but I prefer using my beautiful flower dies !! I have just recieved my late christmas present this morning-spellbinders jeweled flowers and flourishes die set. I can't wait to try them out !! Happy crafting love Tres x x x
Hi Sue, Lovely card and the colours work really well. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue,
Love the card. One consolation with being snowed in is it gives me more time to experiment trying to make cards like you - no way!!!
Much love,

Oh Sue love everything about this card, the colours are gorgeous together.
A lovely card Sue. Flower is gorgeous. I love the shabby chic look. xx
What a stunning card. I too wouldn't have put the colours together but it really works. Wow!

Hi Sue, yes I do like these colours together and I think this card is lovely. You keep on reminding me of just how much we can actually do with our stamps.
I hope everyone is coping with the weather but being stuck indoors is an excellent excuse for more crafting!

Interesting colour combo, I would never have considered brown and lavender and there you go it works. Also love the watermark effect - great idea for keeping the tone but adding interest.
