Shabby chic card class (tutorial)

We had a great time at my class last night, making these three vintage, shabby chic cards. It was a fast paced and fun evening, working with the lovely Everything Eleanor stamp set and a variety of punches and dies.

 

Bye bye Pistachio Pudding ink & Apothecary Accents Framelits. Missing you already *sniffle*.

 

 

 

I used some old book pages with these two cards, to give a bit of contrast to the pastel colours. I used pages from Business French for Beginners and Adventure Stories for Girls (edited by the intriguingly named "Leonard Gribble". He sounds like he should have been writing taxation manuals rather than ripping yarns for wizard "gells", but a chap's got to make a living somehow, I suppose).

 

 

 

This one has a tie closure - I glued the ribbon to the card behind the central medallion, so the glue didn't show through.

 

If you want to have a go, I've attached the instructions for making the cards here. Some of the elements I used are retiring in the next few weeks, but you can always substitute similar items. (I think you can still grab the Delicate Design embossing folders if you're quick.)

Here's what I used (current stock only)
