If you've followed my blog for any length of time, you know that grunge/shabby chic/the collage look is something I am not successful at (you may deduce this from the fact that I NEVER show you anything that would fall under those categories - I am hopeless at it!). My look is simple, sometimes cutesie, a very clean sort of look.
This card is me dipping my big toe into the shabby look pool. Not really, but its probably as close as you'll see me get.
This design is similar to yesterday's hello card. I thought this background paper from Basic Grey had enough character to act as "white space" but also was not too busy so I could stamp over it. The stamps are all from CTMH and the ink is from SU. It's still pretty simple but I like it and I was able to make some for my inventory as well as some to send in my cards for soldiers pile in no time at all.
The kids are going to a birthday party tomorrow which is actually at the movie theater to see Shrek 3, so to get them in the mood, we watched the first Shrek tonight. I have to admit, I'd never seen the movie before but it was cute. Of course there is a scrapbook store down the road from the theater - I think Mo should take the kids and I'll take a little road trip while the movie is on......
oh, I think it looks super! Great card!
