Week 4 Compendium of Curiosities Challenge at
Studio L3 and challenge was the operative word! My
'Shabby Chic' attempt is pretty darn shabby! It all starts with not having black paint for the undercoat, the Versamark was probably too old and the clear embossing powder too dead, I don't know but all in all it was pretty frustrating. Of course I kept trying to make it work and in the end just decided to end it before it ended me! Definitely more refinement needed for this technique. If you look very closely - do click on it to see shabby details - you may be able to see there were some flowers under the stamped bird and on another layer was the bird itself...shabby, shabby attempt...Shabbily yours - R. Keep smiling - Cheers!
I think you've created a really lovely shabby effect!

ReplyDeleteI'm with Netty: What the heck are you talking about, girlfriend?! This is GORGEOUS, dramatic and a great example of what Shabby Chic should look like! Be proud, Rhonda-- it's beautiful!!!
