Thanks

 Hi bloggers!  Every once in awhile I just have to unleash my inner grunge and allow it to go free.  Today's card was just such an adventure.  I know it may not appeal to everyone, but it came out with a soft shabby chic feel to it in real life and I was just so pleased with it.  Did a little happy dance in fact! LOL  Give it a chance as I think it will grow on you!  I started by covering a piece of milk card with some picket fence, tea dye and Tattered Rose ink in the form of a wash.  I cut the piece into three sections and distressed the edges and mounted them on foam.  Next I glued a piece of cheesecloth (from the hardware store) on to the background.  I flicked a white paint pen at it to add more distress.  I stamped the Shaded Peony on some card from my stash (a sort of strawberry colour and cut them out and created several different sized flowers.  I spritzed them with water and crumpled them a bit too.  The Dandelion Clocks were used for the flower centre.  I cut several of the stemmed Dandelion clocks in different colours and arranged them around my flowers with some Maidenhair Fern bits added too.  Finally I cut the Vertical Thanks in milk card and backed the letters with Taupe card, added mounting foam and mounted it to the right side of the card with another flower.  I finished off with my mats and layers of milk card and taupe card, but distressed the edges of all of them.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8" in size.  Has it grown on you yet? LOL  All for now, Sue x
