Good Afternoon ladies.

I have a new challenge that i am entering today, and that is over at


http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/07/card-style-week-lets-do-shabby-vintage.html


and their definition of the above two terms are this :-

What makes a card shabby chic? Well, shabby chic is a style characterized by layering. It is soft, utilizing ribbon, lace, and techniques such as inking and distressing. The final product looks comfortable, weathered, and worn.




What makes a card vintage? Vintage goes a step further by adding old images, found items, and antique trinkets to the mix..

This is my first Shabby chic card. I hope it fits the bill
