My attempt at vintage/shabby chic

This was my first attempt at making a vintage-y tag. At the time I made it I thought it turned out pretty good. Now ... not sure I'm liking it very much. It needs to be a little more dimensional, especially the lace at the bottom. I didn't have gathered lace at the time so I just laid it flat without thinking that I could've stitched it to make gathers. Oh well - not too bad for my first try. 

These are some flowers I made for a monthly swap I'm hosting with some FB friends. I like to call them shabby chic, but not exactly sure they fall in that category.  What do you think?

I'm really happy with the way these flowers turned out! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting - I really appreciate that! I'll be sharing more projects in the coming days (think mini blog hop!) so I hope you'll come back soon! Until next time, take care!
