I used a Craft Secrets cotton panel, mounted it on pink pirouette and stitched around the edges before matting with Regal Rose. All edges were distressed. I wanted to use lace, but didn't have any, so created the border with a MS punch and Spellbinders Eyelet used together. The card front is embossed with Cuttlebug Textile Textures folder and the whole card mounted onto Regal Rose. I added an antique looking button tied with embroidery floss and a beautiful ribbon bow.
What do you think?

All in pink and smiling. This image reminds me of my sisters and I. We were three, we lost the oldest one Soelah at breast cancer, but I love to see images of three sisters, because other than young, I don't have that many. Thanks for the memory and the beautiful pinks! Beautifuly done.
