Shabby Chic or Flea Market Flop?

Every so often I'll sit down to stamp with a definite idea in mind for a particular project.  There are times where it turns out NOTHING like I planned!

This happened to me last night. I sat down to create a card for my "baby's" 2nd birthday this coming weekend and knew I wanted to use my new stamp set "Greeting Card Kids". I fell in love with the set as soon as I saw it and added it to my wish list.

What I had in mind was a vintage theme card.  I wanted old, worn, and cute!  I used some of our new Cherry Cobbler cardstock along with Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.  I embossed the white background with my Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and Big Shot and added some sponging.  I punched out the flowers and added some of our new self-adhesive Rhinestone jewels to the center of them. 

I stamped the image in Early Espresso and watercolored it with my watercolor crayons, added some dazzling diamonds glitter to her hair bow, bottom of her dress and little heart she's holding.

Hum...when I was finished with it....I wasn't sure if I liked it or not!  What do you think?  Is it Shabby Chic or just a Flea Market Flop!

Happy Stamping!
