Hanglar & Stanglar - Shabby ChicK

I love Hanglar and Stanglar but they are not for sell here in the US (more's the pity).

BUT I do have a Norwegian connection and some times she'll send me a few. I'm not entirely sure of the Swedish/English translation (it doesn't read like Norwegian) but I think the title of this stamp is 'GIRL WITH A HEN'.

There's a new Hanglar & Stanglar challenge blog and round #2 was for a SHABBY CHIC card.

So I got out some of my hew Tim Holtz stuff (paper, die cut edge, stick pin, ticket) and did a "grungy" card. The image was watercolored with Distress Ink and my aqua pen. The sunflowers were cream and heavily sprayed with SUNFLOWER Glimmer Mist (I *LOVE* that color). I' m not sure you can see the brown swirl under all the flowers and stuff - but I cut that with my Slice. (I'm trying to learn to love my Slice...). And for some extra "glitter" I used the clear dots. I don't think they make them any more (too bad) but they're flatter than the Dew Drops and add some sparkle. As I was editing the picture I thought I should have inked the edges of the background paper for more distressing - guess she's a "clean" shabby chic!

Paper: Tim Holtz
Ink: Distress Ink
Accessories: Tim Holtz edge die, prima flowers, Glimmer Mist, buttons, Scrapper's Floss, Slice, stick pin, glitter pen, aqua painter, ticket, scalloped Nestie.

Did you catch the "K" I added to Chic in the title? (grin).

  1. Oh SO cute Deb! Love your arrangement of details! Do you have this stamp, if so would love to trade images with you, I've gotten quite a few new hAnglars lately. AND they are selling some hAnglar kits on ebay worldwide now, just in case you didn't know. You just have to keep on looking, they go pretty fast! ;)
