The crafting inspiration is greater than the blog inspiration still, so I am still a bit behind in posting the cards here.

Yesterday I went shopping with the intention of getting just a couple of bits. You would think by now I would realise it does not quite work that way… Once again I bought much more than I need.

Always the same soft wonderful colours. Here is my take on a shabby chic card:
