I used Art Nouveau Vases by Hope Jacare Doodles to make this funky Shabby Chic card:
The image is actually printed directly onto the main background; I used an embossing diffuser and embossing folder from Tim Holtz so that the image itself isn't embossed. I added some color with Barely Banana SU! ink. I colored the image with Copics; I texturized parts of the images using Blender solution & Aida cloth. The flowers are colored with a yellow glaze pen.
Can you tell what die I used for the edge embellishments? I used my new Die-namics Notebook Edge die by MFT, but kept the negative part. Isn't it pretty‽
The sentiment, a quote from Shakespeare, is from a Clear Art Stamps set. I stamped it on manilla cardstock and cut the edge with the same die as the edge pieces. I finished the card with some peach baker's twine.
I'm entering this card into the following fabulous challenges:

Hiding in my Craft Room #91: Freestyle
Lexi's Creations: Punches and/or Dies
