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 always love it when I come across your beautiful creations, cause you sure know how to make a card come together. I love the gorgeous colors, textures and all the feminine elements that make this so classy and elegant. Great dimension on the flowers and I love the delicate little whispers of butterflies. Your mom will have no probs feeling all the love you put into this.
