This week we have a fun challenge for you over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges - we're asking you to create something in a Shabby Chic style and use lots of white. This isn't my usual style so I hope I pulled it off.
For the "chic" part I used touches of gold CS - and gilded up some chipboard hinges too. The DP is from Magnolia, as are the dies used to cut the flower and dragonfly. The swirl die is from Whiff of Joy. I used my distressing tool to add some "shabby" to the edges of the papers - and I also dragged my white ink across the hinges to "age" them a little. With all the white, off white and gold I felt the touch of pink gave it a lift.
If you're after more inspiration you should check out the rest of the MDUC DT's work HERE - in fact you should check it out just because I know it'll be worth the visit - I'm soo lucky to work with these talented crafters.
