TSTR Week 103 "Shabby Shutters"

Here is my weekly challenge entry into the Shabby Tea Room

You had to include a distressed element and navy blue.
Below is the inspiration photo.


I decided to make a New Baby card as my daughters teacher has just given birth and I thought it would be nice to send her a card.

The stamped image of the moses basket was paper pieced and I coloured the little bows in with pro markers. The Welcome stamp was from the printery collection of stamps.  I also distressed the backing papers using the edge of my scissors, it worked but made a bit of a mess.
I then made the organza flower by cutting out differnt size circles of material and melting the edges using a tea light candle.
