Whimsy Inspiration Challenge #40

Hi Everyone!!
Welcome to another great Whimsy Inspiration Challenge! Our theme this week is "Vintage / Shabby Chic!"
You don't have to use a Whimsy image, but it would be great if you did! And it doesn't have to be a card - we welcome all paper projects. Don't forget to check out the challenge details - and your chance to be a Guest Designer with us - over at the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge Blog!

I love Vintage / Shabby Chic style cards - but have so much trouble making them... I always seem to neaten all the 'shabbiness' up! But it's definitely a style I want to try more of as there are so many fab ways to create with it.
For this card I used the pretty "Blooming Border 2" image by StampArt Design by Kathryne. I used the image twice to make a frame (digis are so much fun to play with like this!), and popped a sweet sentiment in the centre from "Flowers in Bloom" Sentiments by Raindrop Echo Designs.
The gorgeous Digi papers are Michele R Designs "Basic Vintage Papers", also from Whimsy Stamps, and they are the perfect set for this theme! The butterfly is cut from this paper set too, with the wings folded up too look like it's fluttering.
Hope you like it!
