April Challenge #1: Shabby Chic Techniques

This month our kits are all inspired by the shabby chic style of the C'est Magnifique February Kits. So, for our first challenge of the month, we're channeling those vintage vibes and creating with some old school 'shabby chic' techniques like layering; stamping; inking; and distressing.

Challenge #1: Choose a 'shabby chic' technique or two to incorporate into a project - stamping, layering, distressing, inking, etc.

Our Guest Designer, Louise Brooks, used distressing and layering techniques to lend a vintage vibe. Visit her blog for more details.


Susan used stamps, layers and edge punches to give her page a shabby chic feel. LINK



Leslie used whitewash, flyspecks & distress for a shabby chic finish to some of her elements.
