Shabby Chic Scrapping

Shabby Chic is an old English country style mostly derived the wear and tear. Today, we find the distressed designs in more modern graphics and touch bolder colors but still replicating a comfortable cottage feel. The trick is how to add bling (and not be flashy) to a relaxed, time worn look. See how Art Glitter Designer, Lynette Daniel has added her special touch of soft elegance to the faded Authentique summer collection below!



Lynette started with 3 Authentique summer collection papers, 4 Art Glitters and Cotton Cloud Fantasy Fiber, 2 solid WorldWin Papers cardstocks, 1 Crafter's Workshop 12x12 Template, Tim Holtz rotary paper distress tool & Scattered Straw Distress Ink, Ranger Buttercup Liquid Pearl, May Arts Ribbon jute twines,  silk flowers, and a handful of assorted buttons. 



As shown above, Lynette laid the Crafter's Workshop template on the cardstock and applied Art Glitter Designer Adhesive (Clear) on a foam applicator. Next, lifted up the template and sprinkled #254 Stratosphere Opaque Chunky Hologram onto cardstock then distressed edges when dry. 



To get that soft elegant look, Lynette chooses a monochromatic glitter palette to match the Authentique summer collection papers. Above, you'll see how she stitched the layers together then used her Cricut to cut the flourish and embellish with Art Glitter Designer Adhesive and #167 Rain Forest Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.


Here are those extra special touches that Lynette is known for~ Check out her handwriting straight onto the Authentique papers! To finish the title, Lynette goes straight over her pencil marks with Buttercup Liquid Pearl and embellishes with Art Glitter #65 Old Gold Ultrafine Opaque. If you look closely, Lynette added #85 Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to the silk flowers and Fantasy Fiber (Cotton Cloud) under/above the assorted buttons to give a beautiful texture to the simple embellishments.  Please comment below and tell us your favorite part about Lynette's Shabby Chic scrapbook layout called "You Are Everything To Me."
