Welcome to the Shabby Accents Blog Hop!
If you have arrived here from Linda Coughlin, you are on the right track. If not, please start HERE.
The shabby chic style has been around for many many years, originating from Great Britain, where time worn items were showcased in most country homes. Today’s essence of shabby chic is to achieve that time worn layered vintage look from yesteryear by painting, distressing, dying or tea staining. Now we bring it to you right from our craft tables.
Please follow along as the following crafters showcase their handmade Shabby Chic Accents. Be sure to visit each blog, as each artist will be having a giveaway. Also, we have a couple of awesome sponsors who have generously donated for a “Grand Prize Giveaway”. Their shops are full of shabby goodness. To qualify, all you have to do is leave a comment on each blog.

Now on to my project!
The stamp and sentiment are both from The Rubber Cafe, as is the inspiration for this card. I saw one similar on their display at last year's Scrapbook Expo, so I thought I'd try my hand at recreating it. I picked up the lace and teal ribbon at Hobby Lobby and the flowers at Michael's especially for this project, and the pearls were in my stash. I also added some gold Stickles to the corset for a little extra bling.
As promised, I have something to give away! I can't provide a picture right now (as I'm on a school "field trip" to Boston), but I CAN tell you that I'll be giving away a new clear stamp set I picked up at my LSS a couple of weeks ago. I'd love it if you'd become a follower, but it's not required. Just leave a comment, and I'll draw a winner at the end of the week. Be sure to leave a way to contact you, or I'll draw another name.

I always love projects that include a corset - I think they are the epitome of shabby and the way you have created the skirt from ribbon is inspired. The pearls and tiny flowers along the edges are perfect finishers. Great colors too!
