I am so delighted to be back at The Shabby Tea Room as a Guest Designer! I love the fabulous challenges offered by Debbie and her talented team of designers! This week’s challenge was inspired by this gorgeous (and interesting) photo…
That it’s gorgeous, is evident. It’s interesting, because of the title of this challenge.. ‘Summer Cottage’. I’ve never seen such a stunning cottage, but I know I could feel instantly at home there!! I took the cue for the outside of my card from the image…
The beautiful curves of the cabinetry along with those luscious colors and a very elegant look…
a touch of chunky, sandy, beach-glassy embossing…
Touches of gold and tracery from the image…
open to the outdoors and the beach..
A summery sentiment! along with…
tea dyed cheesecloth, gilded seashells, some coral in the color of the fabrics in the summer cottage and some more embossed ‘beach sand’!
This was so much fun to create! Thank you Debbie for another inspiring challenge!! My thanks to you all for taking a few moments to stop by~
*Hugs*
