Distressed


Here's a Distressed card for the Lots to do challenge, you can find it hereLots to Do Challenge
I distressed the seam binding as well as the card. Used some old pattern pieces, a distressed book page and old buttons. The image is from I Brake For Stamps. Its also a Birthday card for a Dear friend!

What a great look -love the layering, fabric/lace/ribbon. This has been an inspiration to me to use more fabric and even get out my sewing machine. Thanks for sharing.
