Shabby Chic Romantic Card

I'm not usually one for pastels but there is something about all the romantic Curtsey Boutique embellishments that makes me want to play with soft colors and everything pretty. 

I used a ton of stuff on here.  The fabric in the middle is actually cut from a muslin bag.  I folded and sewed a paper doily on top and layered some flowers and a wood button. 

And how cute are these new little clothespins!? I used one here to clip the book page heart and glitter banner to the upper corner.  So sweet!

Embellished Berry Basket with Jess Mutty

 Today I have this sweet little basket that would be perfect for gift giving.  I love these fruit baskets and the ruffled fabric trim so I combined them with a pretty pastel shabby flower for a romantic, country feel.  The wood button and felt doily add another touch of texture.

I used a piece of chipboard sandwiched between two dyed doilies for a small decorative backing.  It looks pretty but it is also functional.  Sometimes I find that I need a little support for my basket goodies. 

And of course you need a nice little bed of something to nestle the contents into.  I lined the basket with a white doily and then cut super thin strands of a glassine bag and scrunched them into the bottom of the basket.  Perfect for a candle, bath items, baked treats, or other small gift!
