Shabby Lavender


This white 5x7 card was made using elements from Mintay Papers - Dreamer 06 and 09. 

The background paper I have had for a while and was purchased from a seller on Etsy.

I wanted to use cool colours but keeping a pastel feel. I added chipboard lavender clusters and coloured the bows purple. I attached all elements when I was happy with the arrangement and finished off with a couple of flatback white pearl gems and a Best Wishes sentiment.

I adore the shabby birdhouses you get on Mintay Papers!

Elegant and Chic! 

I have entered this card into the Anything Goes Challenge - Polkadoodles
