Hello everyone, today I'd like to show off some amazing projects from the Calico Collage fan group's creative ladies.  I published the new Layered Heart Cards earlier this month, and so many people fell in love with them and began creating right away.  I invited several of them to share what they'd made, and they didn't let me down.  Without further ado, please allow me to present you some lovely Shabby Chic Valentines. 

Shabby Chic Valentines

The 1st is from Amanda Taylor of World of Muchness

I really love how she added more ephemera such as the paper dolls and topped them with buttons and bows.  So adorable.

2nd is from Joan Brown of The Brown Dragonfly (check out her Instagram as well)

I particularly liked how she incorporated the similar fabrics.  The stitching really add to the cuteness of these cards.

3rd we have Katherine Hawkes of Hennies Pennies

Her use of ephemera behind the sayings was a fantastic idea, as was the way she softened the edges with ink and rounded the corners. 

Lastly we have Linda Israel of Linda Israel Art

Her collage technique, combined with her sewed edges and ribbon, completely transforms these cards.
