The Shabby Tea Room Week 73

This week’s challenge is to use three patterned papers in the card! I was really thinking I was in trouble- Usually I only work with 2 patterned papers, and then add a little strip of plain coloured cardstock, but 3 sounded a little busy! I decided to go for it, as I needed a card to send to a PTI forum friend and this challenge was just the thing I needed to kick my bum into action.

And voila!!! I used papers from Crate Paper Emma’s Shoppe collection, which I have been hoarding 🙂

The embossed frame is from Crafty Secrets, but they are sent to me in a package by the sweet Viola Mahr when we did a little swap 🙂 I inked up the raised parts of the frame and heat-embossed it to make it stand out a little more, and rubbed some Colorbox Creamy Brown chalk ink along the sides to distress it.

The crochet flower is from a dollar store and the satin posy is something that I also sell in my store here, and the pin I made myself- also in the shop!

Other supplies:

Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black; Dies- PTI button card die; CS- Bazzill basics Kraft; Stamps- PTI Mega Mixed Messages

Before I go, just wanted to share a final set of cards I made today:
