This is my DT entry for this fortnight

For this card I used ivory pearlescent cardstock. I stamped the background using Viva Decor - Letters and Embellishments stamp with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I coloured the image using promarkers and then painted over with Liquid Acrylic White Pearl just to blend in the image with the pearlescent cardstock. I trimmed with lace and distressed the edges of the card with Vintage Photo. I took an old dressing gown that is not used anymore in smokey pink satin material and recycled it into this rossette rose (tutorial on how to create this - alittleshabbychic on YouTube). Added the centre from some old recycled jewellery, distressed the edges of some matching pink satin ribbon to give a real shabby look and a couple of ivory pearl bead trim lengths to tie in with the pearl beaded centre

This is my DT entry

I used a piece of A5 Chipboard with one of the Tim Holtz Small Easel dies attached to back. I painted it in Green Acrylic paint mixed with Structure Paste to give it a rough texture. Once dried I sprayed it with Raspbery Vintage Cosmic Shimmer. I painted the image using Liquid Acrylic White and Silver Pearl adding a touch of pink acrylic paint for the umbrella and purple for the flowers in hair and blue for chopsticks. I die cut a frame using Sizzix Jelly Frame and inserted the image behind bringing the hair infront of frame. The Die Cut frame I painted in Brown Acrylic added a layer of Weathered Wood medium and then toped with Moon Yellow Acrylic to produce the crackled effect with the brown showing thorugh the crackle. I edged layout and frame in Vintage Photo Distress ink. I then added some Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die cuts in gold and pale green cardstock and adorned the top and bottom corners using a hot glue gun with lilac, white, blue and pale green paper flowers. Added a bit of bling in centre of umbrella. And to finish off I added 2 bronze butterflies accented with pearl trim and lifted up their wings to add some dimension.
