This week's challenge to start the year off at The Shabby Tea Room is called "Time Flies". It is to create a card and/or project inspired by the beautiful photo below and you must include something with wings!
I made my card with some more gorgeous papers from the FarmHouse line by October Afternoon. One of my faves! I also used a couple of die cuts from Jillibean Soup as well as some punched Martha Stewart butterflies.
To finish the card off, I used some seam binding ribbon, twine, pearls and lots of glitter.
The winner of this week's challenge will win 5 digi images of their choice from Robyn's Fetish! So many cute stamps!!
Don't forget to leave some love for the other Shabby Girls too! ;)
