Everything Eleanor Shabby Chic

By | September 6, 2013

The Everything Eleanor Stamp Set’s delicate floral embellishments, frames, and flourishes is the perfect mix for your projects with vintage flair.  The eight-piece set coordinates with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch.

This is what I did to make this card:

  1. The base card is Soft Suede Card Stock (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ folded in half)
  2. The DSP (4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″) is from the retired Neutrals Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stacks.  It was swiped over the Whisper White Craft Ink several times and distressed with the Distressing Tool. 
  3. The First Edition Designer Series Paper (retired) (3″ x 4″) was also swiped with the Whisper White Craft Ink and distressed with the Distressing Tool.
  4. I die cut a piece of scrap Very vanilla Card Stock with the Chalk Talk Framelits and then stamped with the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set.  This  was also distressed.
  5. I added the buttons from the retired Buttons Latte Collection in five places.
  6. Added the Linen Thread (double bow)  to the DSP layer
  7. Die cut a scrap of Very Vanilla Card Stock and a scrap of Vellum Card Stock using the Beautiful Wings Bigz Die.
  8. The Very Vanilla Butterfly was stamped with the Stipple Blossoms Stamp Set.
  9. The Vellum Butterfly was embossed with the Pretty Print Embossing Folder.
  10. The two butterflies were then adhered to the front of the card.

Please Note:

To guarantee that the buttons will not fall off, I always tie them to the card with linen thread!
