Excuse my French!

This is my card for the  Shabby Tea Room challenge this week.

The challenge is to use neutrals, navy & distressing. 

Here's the inspiration photo.

I incorporated the French sign, Paris letter, blue & white plate, (found at Graphics Fairy)  pitcher, shutters and the blue gingham.  This is not my usual style, so I found it to be a bit of a challenge, but now it's done I find that it's growing on me. 

A couple of close - ups

Thanks for looking, I appreciate you stopping by for a visit.
Have a lovely day.
