I was so happy to see today's distressing challenge, because I use distressed edges all the time. This card was made for my mother, Cleo (Lovingzinnias), who loves distressing, too. She also loves purples and greens together. I tried to really make it all about what she loves...because I love her.
This is a case of a beautiful card, Vintage Vogue Friends , made by tylersmum05. Thanks for the inspiration! I changed the colors, sentiment, and added ribbon and other embellishments.
Part of the sentiment was made on the computer. I made French knots for the center of the flowers using ribbon and waxed thread. The butterflies are vellum.
TFL!

I didn't know your mom was on SCS. That is so much fun. To share a passion with our mom! I love what you did with the challenge. Your distressed card looks so classy. Love your soft colours and the sheer ribbon. Guess by now, you must know I love your card. TFS
