Hi bloggers! I noticed earlier in the year quite a bit of this extremely distressed card edges on blogs from the States so I thought I would have a go at it myself. I have to say that I loved the results as it gives the card a surprisingly elegant, vintage sort of feel to it in real life. I started with a piece of
milk coloured card and tore all the way around the edge. I then took the edge of my scissors and distressed it further to bring about a softer, almost fuzzy edge to the card. I did a slightly smaller piece the same exact way and layered them together. Using a piece of
cut 'n dry foam, I inked the torn edges lightly to give them a vintage look. I cut a
Divine Eloquence die cut out of
milk card and backed it with a piece of peach card from my stash. I used the smaller die in the set to cut another piece out of
milk card and layered it with foam in the middle. I stamped my sentiment from the
Justrite stamp set called Ribbons and Swags Vintage Labels Seven and cut it out with the tag die from the same. I inked it lightly with
Antique Linen distress ink before removing it from the die and added it with foam in the middle of the card. I used my
Classic Rose die set to cut some peach felt and made two flowers from it. (This technique can be seen on my video on Youtube entitled Spanish Rose) I added them with
tulle and some cream twine. I pierced around the edge of a piece of milk card to create a mat frame for my card, then added a thin peach mat and a final milk mat to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment. The winner will be announced on Saturday's post. All for now, Sue x

Hey Sue, what a fabulous card for the giveaway, who wouldn't just love to have this?! "Surprisingly elegant", to quote you, is just the words I would have picked to describe the look of the torn edges, as a whole the card is just gorgeous especially with with that hint of pink. As ever, love the embellishment!

Hi Sue,
Really pretty card today. Different sentiment as well.
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, when I saw this card today I thought oh that is really smashing then when I read what you had done I was so surprised, I have not tried this technique round the edges because I thought it would look awful, but Sue you have made this look so beautiful, I am going to give it a go, I remember seeing you do this I think it might have been on C&C or one of your videos in the past and thought ouch, but I am definitely going to try it myself. It is wonderful that every day you give a little tip or technique for us here, thank you.
I would like to congratulate in advance the lucky person who wins this card it is something that you would treasure for ever.
Have a great day everyone what ever you are doing, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx

Morning Sue,
If I tried to make this Stunning Card it wouldn't look anything "like this" I Love The Vintage Look and you've created a Masterpiece as always, you've turned the Distressed Edges into looking extremely elegant, where as if this Card was mine it would look horrendous. I'm not confident at doing things like this at all, your Card is Awesome Very Beautiful I must say I Just Love The Warm Soft Colours I Love The Pretty Peach, I Love The "Divine Eloquence Die" and the wonderful Peach Card peeking through. Your Fabulous Sentiment from JustRite Ribbons and Swags I Love Your Amazing Peach Felt Roses with your Tulle and Twine Simply Stunning, Sue Thanks For Sharing Thanks For The Fabulous Photography Shots They Always Give Such A Good View Of The Card. Thank You For The Daily Card And Your Great Tips And Techniques I So Much Appreciate Everything You Do Thanks For Your Hard Work.
Sue Take Great Care

You have done a fabulous job with this card. I especially like the Rose. Would love to win this! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs all round.
Hi Sue,
What a pretty card, I really like the way you have distressed the edges.
Beverley W
Hi Sue
A beautiful card today! Love the distressed look - looks so elegant with the white and peach! Have just viewed the video from yesterday. As usual, loads of tips and inspiration. Best wishes, Anne O
The colors look a bit odd on my computer screen. Maybe they are cream and light
pink but on the screen the cream gets a nasty shade from the pink and doesn't
look that nice. The design is fabulous.
Hugs,
Eemeli
Hi Sue. Such a pretty card with a very Victorian feel to it, I like I the distressed edging very much. Anne x

A lovely card today, but personally I am not sure the distressed edges are for me
Pat x
I may have had two comments as I seem to have lost my last one. For reason it hasn't published.
I love this look. I've seen a lot of it on pintrest., which I'm addicted to.
It's the prettiest card Sue.
I really like the distressed edges. I haven't tried it myself as I'm scared of making a mess off tearing and distressing the card. Maybe I should get brave lol.
Lots of love to all

GM Sue - well I dont usually 'do' distressed edges but I do like these! very textural and quite victorian looking I am thinking -

Wow! Stunning card, the distressed edges give a beautiful soft look.
Wow Sue
Such a lovely card ,great job .
Elaine H X
Hi Sue, Very different I like it . love Jean Z xxx
Good morning Sue and everyone.
A stunning card in every way, but I have never been a fan of distressed edges or things stuck on at an angle. I think it is the OCD in me, everything has to be straight and neat. Nevertheless I adore all the other elements on it and would love to win it. To me it is the type of card tat would be wrapped in tissue in a box and treasured for years, perhaps by a Victorian lady in days gone past. I can imagine it being discovered in an attic many years later, just beautiful and very delicate.
Love and hugs
Dawn Searle xxxx
Good morning, just solo pretty. Not sure about the distressed edges you make them look fab but if I did it it would look like "a pig's ear" - now I bet you have never heard that phrase in America! Your card is so elegant but the edges fall in the distressed category.
Steph, hope today is a better day!
We'll done baby Leo a true fighter as is our Norah!
Love to you all - still doing the spring clean. Have finished the favours for works Halloween party just got table centre pieces to do - how do I fall for it !
See you all tomorrow xxx
Love distressed edges Sue and they look great on this very feminine card, gorgeous!
Have a good day and hope you are well ,

I agree Sue, the edges are fantastic, you even do torn in a classy way, what is next, elegant punk with pretty safety pins lol. Stunning xx
Morning Sue, beautiful card, do like distressed look and love the sentiment. Love Jean xxx
Omg! This is my favourite of all cards. I just love the distressed look and I will try this!! Thank you again for the incredible inspiration.
Lots of love,

I love this Sue! The distressed edges work amazingly well on this elegant card. I often use the technique in my scrapbooking but seeing this I think I must have a go at using it in my cardmaking too!! Beautiful!! xxx
Morning Sue, absolutely fantastic card, it is so pretty and would mark a great wedding card, or anniversary. I have a space on my craft room wall where it would fit!
Love Rosemarie xx
As Rosemarie said above, it would make a lovely wedding card!!

Good morning Sue - I love this card - I have tried distressing and mine does not look as elegant as yours. LOL.

Morning Sue and all friends 'old and new'
Such a delicate card today Sue. I too struggle with torn, grunged edges, last time I tried it, it all ended up in my 'bits' bag used for the odd leaf/flower dies ! I'll leave it to the experts. But the winner of this card will have a true treasure - good luck to you all.
Love you.

morning Sue
I've also seen this technique of tearing etc a lot recently on Pinterest and still cannot make up my mind about it.
On your gift for today it looks beautiful but whether I could make it look as you do is another matter. Might have to give it a try. I haven't seen the dies you used today before but they look a wonderful set. I love your soft colours and it's definitely a girlie gift. My empty space is still there in anticipation so it's fingers etc crossed today.
Sandra - have a really good day.
Norah - you're words are just fine; nothing wrong with them.
Happy cutting the invitations.
Have a thank you card to do today. We're still not sure whether we're off to France on the 16th as Mr E has to have his blood (INR)checked on the 14th. If it's down to 2.5 then we're off. Should be a good experience to see him have to pack the car at such late notice!!!
To all who are under the weather hope you feel better soon. To all take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Beautiful card - I love the distressed look

Hi Sue pretty in peach card.
Denise X
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
This is gorgeous Sue. I don't normally like distressed cards as they look like the person who made them is slapdash, but this is so extreme that it is obviously meant to be like that.
Yorkielass, we are going to York in November, I'll get the correct info and let you know.
Love to all, hope you are all as well as you can be.

Good Morning Sue
A gorgeous card today. the colours milk and peach go so well together. Will keep everything crossed to win this card.....xxx
Love todays card it is so elegant.
Dear Sue What an elegant card! I do like cards with the distressed edges but not tried it myself because I like everything to be neat and tidy. However, your card shows it can be done and not look untidy.... a beautiful card. Take Care Love Michelle S xxx

Another stunner Sue - I would be honoured to have this in my collection, so I will keep my fingers crossed. I like the distressed look you have achieved, but I'm not so sure I would get the same effect, LOL.
WAUW this is soooo gorgeous, and I really like the distressed edges here and have been playing a bit with this too lately, but never got such a perfect result as this is.
Good morning Sue and the wonderful Wilsonettes,
It is a beautiful card Sue but i find it strange seeing a WOW that is not pristine(namely with torn edges). I am just not a roughed up crafter as my nature just can't do anything that is not neat and as my mum would say stepped off a band box. The soft pink that you have used in both the felt and card is so lovely. What a beautiful difference today Sue as you keep surprising me with your different, hidden you that keeps wanting to break free at times.
Deyenaira, very warm welcome to the wonderful world of Sue Wilson and you are now a Wilsonette. You are doing fine with you English and i so glad that you love her dies as much as we all do.
Meg, oh how happy am i for you that your little prince has come out bouncing and you can finally get to hold your beautiful grandson. Told you Leo is the king of the jungle and this wee boy was well named.
Myra P, my boy has always loved a cuddle and to give a cuddle. It is the one thing that he doesn't get when he gets told that it is inappropriate, to be fair neither do i but hey ho we have turned in to a very clinical world. Why is it the wrongs of a few destroy it for the many. A child can bounce back so much quicker from some trauma with a simple act of kindness. Glad the children are enjoying their books, i wonder what stories each will tell?
Hugs thoughts and prayers are will you dear Tandy.
Heather T, i hope that you got some positive news about your beloved brother. The ICU is the very best place for him until they can get him better. ((Hugs))
Nice to have you back Tres and i hope that you are feeling a little better than you have been.
Brenda flower, lovely that even after all these years you still have that beautiful first glow about you. It must be a gie long honeymoon that's all i'll say about it.
Lydia and Mr Jordan, i hope that you both had a lovely day celebrating 53 years, deserving of a celebration for sure.
Well i am off to meet my friend in at Stirling for a coffee and putting the world to rights. Miss McPhee has 4 pairs of nurses trousers for me to alter and Mr McPhee wants his hi vis dungarees shortened as well so the sewing machine and overlocker will be out this afternoon so a fun afternoon i will be having(not) as i can't even get my own trousers shortened( that's what happens when you were well behind the door when height was given out).
Have a wonderful day everyone and i hope that the sun is shining on you as it is here at my beloved hills. Hugs to all my Wilsonette angels here and going to hard times off the blog,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Pretty card, lovely colour.

Absolutely beautiful
What a beautiful, delicate, feminine card Sue. You do the distressed look so well and make it look completely different to what one normally sees. Not sure I could do as well but I will have to have a go. Thank you. Xx
Wow Sue this card is a stunner. The dies are so gorgeous. The roses look the best you've ever made and the composition is perfect. Well done and thank you for sharing. Caz x
Good morning lovely ladies,
Oh Sue what a pretty vintage card today, I love the 'shabby chic' look, so soft and feminine! Good luck everyone, how amazing it would be to win!
I have done the distressing the edges technique on a much subtler scale to a card that's scheduled on my blog for Friday I think, I love the effect as it softens he edges and helps one colour card blend more easily into another, the roughened edges seem to take the ink much easier too, which means you can go as far as you like.
Janet, well done on getting your wardrobe sorted so quickly, mine are a nightmare and the job would take ages, maybe I need your ruthlessness, you want to pop round and give me hand? I have groups of clothes from all the sizes over the years, from when I was on one of the many diets I have tried! I even have a pair of size 10 jeans in there somewhere, I wouldn't even get one my legs in them now! I made the decision to stop worrying constantly about what I look like, I think your body finds it's own level to stop at, I have been the same weight for some years now, despite comfort eating then not really eating at all, I think the chronic heartburn/indegestion didn't help! I now have 'omeprazole' tablets, they are like miracle pills, no more indegestion at all, I find it's all these little pains that added together make anyone's life a misery!
Steph, I do hope you are feeling brighter today, hugs x
Brenda, thank you for the lovely words as always x
Norah, hope you are feeling brighter my dear, gentle hugs coming your what've.
Myra, it must be so hard not to pick the chilren and hug them, I do understand why they have these laws and guidelines but once someone has been CRB checked things could be slightly different I believe! Some children just crave a snuggle, just to make them feel comforted! Step carefully down from that soapbox now! Hugs on their way!
Tandy, hugs for you too, feel free to message me, I don't mind messaging you when you are up to it, after all a problem shared is a problem halved. Thanks for your kind words. I am still very sore from my physio, to the point that I could barely sit in my wheelchair.!
Anyway I must go get ready for my day out, I am both nervous and excited. It's so lovely to have someone to talk to, this is the first time we are testing out chatting and crafting, I will report back on the results, I think lovely Pat will have us all organised.
Lynne, I hope you are well my love and that they are getting your lovely husband sorted out, it must gee such a worry, but you are in our thoughts, hugs xxx
Hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx

Good morning Sue, very unusual look to this card but I do like it. I really like the topper as well Beryl xx
Really like this card, will be copying this style. Such soft colours really go together. Kind regards Sandra Kent
How pretty this is.
Sandieann21
I have to confess that I am a big fan of shabby chic so absolutely love this card. I haven't tried the felt roses yet. Doesn't it make the card bulky for posting?
Hi,
Like the card.
When other people distress paper I like the look when I do it I think it just looks untidy. Maybe I don't take it far enough or it could just be a mind set.
Luv Ann S
Hi Sue, a lovely card. You have definitely made shabby chic look very elegant.
HI SUE
AMAZING CARD, LOVE ALL THAT LACEYNESS. THE SHABBY EDGES LOOK VERY GOOD.

Love it - the die is amazing and the shabby chic edges work a real treat!
I would have to say this is one of my favorites
What an absolutely gorgeous card. The die used for this card is to die for - sorry couldn't resist that!! Thank you for your inspirational posts, if I could produce something even a quarter as lovely that would be a very big step for me.
Wishing everyone an enjoyable day.
Beautiful card Sue, love the dies used and such gorgeous colours
Hi Sue,
What a gorgeous card, just B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. My distressed edges look naff, so this look would be a real challenge for me. Might make that a New Year's resolution, HAVE TO GET CRACKING on the Xmas cards...............
Aren't peach and soft white a lovely colour combo.
Hugs, Rose
Just one word for today's card BEAUTIFUL
I so love this design and would go mad if I won it

Hi Sue,
Well, you've done it again! You have managed to make me admire something which I have never really liked - by that I mean distressed edges. Your card is delightful and reminds me of some delicate fabric . It is lovely. Some distressed cards look more heartbroken than just distressed to me, I'm afraid. Not this one. You have done it again - love the roses too. Thank you.
Sandra - thanks for the hugs! I have been CRB checked it's practically compulsory now if you work with children. I do see the need for it and was happy to fill in all the forms etc. I guess it's just like Norah said - because of the wrongs of the few we've all got to suffer including the little ones. Ok! Soapbox now in cupboards under the stairs! Sorry you are so sore! Hope you have a lovely craft & chat tomorrow. X
Barbiepinkfairy - if you feel like more cleaning that cupboard under stairs is ready and waiting! Have fun with your table decorations.
Sheila - hope you have 'A Grand Day Out' . My friend goes to Bury Market for wool.

Lovely card. As others have said even though it's distressed it's still gorgeous.
Donna
WOW!!! what an amazing card - beautiful soft colours - very feminine. Would love to receive this. Regards Marie
Hello Sue, This card is absolutely gorgeous. love the distressed edges but like other have not been brave enough to try. The Divine Eloquence die is so elegant and I adore the flowers.
Pam hugs to you and Robbie.
Heather T thinking of you and your beloved Brother, gentle hugs.
Tandy you and the children are in my heart and thoughts, gentle hugs.
Maureen K that will be great, hugs.

Deyenaira C welcome to the Wilsonette family.
Sandra, Pat and Mrs B have a wonderful day together.
Myra P had a little tear in my eye reading your post, as others have said a few have spoiled it for the many and especially the children, your work must be so appreciated by the little ones.

Hi Sue,
I don't usually like distressed cards (tried it, looked like the dog helped)but this one is so lovely, I had to look carefully to check how it had been done. Made me think "wuthering heights", old lace and cobwebby.
Cheers all
Janice W
It's just lovely, Sue. 😊
Hi Sue,
WOW what a beauty , the antique vintage look you have created is just beautiful . I seem to be having trouble with Google at moment I blog a message but they seem to be going somewhere else so I hope this one gets through ok xx hugs to you Sue xx
Crafty hugs to yorkielass and everyone. Xxx

Hi Sue. Wow your card is soooo beautiful. I love distressed edges as it adds so much texture. Absolutely stunning :-) Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
OH WOW WOW WOW, I think this is so beautiful, I know all of your cards are but I think this just tops them all.
If I made a card this beautiful and stunning I would not want to part with it for anyone.
Loving the distressed look on those layers.
Hi Sue
Your right distressing the edges of cards does give them an Elegant Vintage feel and your card is stunning.Something i haven't done on my cards before think i will give it a go
Take care
Hazel G XX
Good Morning Sue, what a magnificent card you have made. You have out did yourself...wow is all I can say. I hope you do a video tutorial on this technique. I would love to give this a go if I knew how.
This is GORGEOUS! Everything about it is delightful and I covet it like crazy!
Beautiful. This would be a real tonic to win this one. Love to all. Theresa x
Hi Sue wow this is a very pretty card today. Like everyone else I love the distressed edges but think mine would probably look messy! I must be brave and give it a go soon. I have a confession to make - hubby tidied his study at the weekend, a much needed job. I have shelves in there with my craft stuff on. He came out bearing a large bag which he had filled with rolls of ribbon he had found scattered around the room and there was rather a lot, including that gorgeous pink ribbon you used last week! Whoops. He did laugh though because he knows I have a thing about ribbon but thought I had it under control tidy ness wise and put on poles so I knew where it was! He uncovered a few other missing items too so I can play when I get the time. Have a great day. Love Diane G xxxxx
Meg lovely news about Leo xxxx
Hi Sue, I don't normally 'do' distress (except for Tim's inks, of course lol) but you have made this card look so pretty it is impossible not to like it. The colours are lovely and as others have said, it has a very vintage feel to it.
Frances
Hi Sue only you can do a distressed card,and make it look elegant ,I love the soft colours you have ,and I would a very happy person if I won this super card.
Ita.

It would be fantastic to win this card.

Beautiful card today. Your torn and distressed edges are perfect, not surprised. Lovely.
Lovely card today Sue, so elegant, the card you used is great, is it available anywhere?
Craftihappiness to you all and love from Pearl.
Absolutely stunning!! The distressed edges do make the card look so delicate along with the dies you used and the delicate pink on white color! So glad you tried it. Maybe you could do a video on it?
Hi Sue
Stunning - a beautiful card. Thank you.
Bye for now.
SandraP xxx
I've never seen such a pretty "distressed edge" card It's glorious
Hi Sue
Gorgeous, stunning & so beautiful for todays card .
Very elegant & the colours so soft & pretty.
I would be so thrilled to find this in my post box & it would have pride of place in my craft room...
You never fail to disappoint us lucky crafters with your beautiful creations.

Hi Sue
Beautiful card made from lovely gentle colors. One question how do you stick the tulle on as I made a mess of trying?
Hugs Sue xxx
What a fantastic card today. I am not a big fan of torn edges but I love the way you used this technique. The choice of colours are of course gorgeous.
I have been so sleepy the last few days that I didn't have energy to use the computer very much; but as always your cards are wonderful.
I hope everyone is keeping well, I can sympathise with everyone feeling unwell. I hope it doesn't stop you all crafting, lol.
Love and hugs Diane xx
Gorgeous card Sue, I love the distressed look but have never tried it myself.
Sue I think you could make a black bin liner look stunning on a card!!!!!!! You just have a wonderful talent and can look at a die or a piece of paper and see endless possibilities.
I would love to win this card but as I have a couple of your works of art I am hoping someone wins it who doesn't have one of your cards and gets to see it in real life!!!
Hi Sue, wow love it . I have never done a distressed card before, but this card you made has given me the inspiration to take a leap and try it. Thank you!
Hello Sue
Well all I can say is WOW what an absolutely beautiful card that I am sure any female would love to receive, well I know I certainly would love to. So once again you have given someone a chance to be the recipiant of this lovely card, thanks for that, I hope I am in with a chance.
Lynda
Hello Sue, having yet another attempt to post on the blog, I completed one a couple of hours ago Only to have it taken off into cyberspace by the gremlins!!!
As Ita said only you could make distress look elegant and get away with it, this card is exquisite, I love everything about it, the dies you've used, the colour and those gorgeous roses. If only I could make distressed look half as good as this I would be pleased.
Hope you're having a good day, love Brenda xxx
Deyanira, welcome to this amazing family, hope you keep coming back.
Meg, what a fighter little Leo is, so pleased he's home at long last.
Heather T and brother sending you both love and prayers.
Janet (Echo) hope hubby INR is okay and you can return to France as planned. Your INR can be very unpredictable, I try to keep mine down by having green veg in immoderation (one Florette of broccoli, skin of the cucumber etc) everything else I have as much as I fancy. Its vitamin K that thins our blood, and it's in all our green vegetables. AND They are the ones I like best!
Tandy, sending you love, hope and prayers for Thursday.
Sheila ginger, hope the four musketeers have had a great day.
Myra, It can be very hard on the emotions working with children but think of it this way, this little girl managed to get the words out, and although you couldn't give her the big hug she needed, she has started to open up and hopefully will get help and support now. YOU are the one who helped her through that barrier. Sending you a big cyber hug, Oops my CRB has expired since I retired!!!!
Hello Sue
Another stunning card,
Would love to win one
Sometime,keep them coming
love rosexx

Beautiful card Sue, I didn't think I would like the distressed edges as I don't normally like the distressed look but actually on this card it looks very pretty.
Good evening Sue,
I haven't been around much this week so am just catching up on all your cards which, as per usual, are all stunning. Thanks for sharing and belated congratulations to all your winners. Enjoy the rest of your evening Sue.
Margaret A.
Oh my goodness this card is beautiful! I love everything about it.
Absolutely beautiful card Sue. I love your cards, they're always so elegant. Thanks for sharing! Linda x
Hi sue love the distressed edges on this card it makes it a nice card
Beautiful as always. Where do you dream up all these lovely ideas?
Fabulous card, love everything about it, vintage colours and style, beautiful ;)
Its looks very effective and the colours give it the sublime look. Wow its fab. Luv to all jax
Hi Sue...I LOVE IT!!! I wonder if the distress would look as elegant using coloured card rather than the milk colour (and yes, the card is on my wish list lol). This is a card that anyone would be proud to be able to replicate and one that would be a joy to receive. I'm typing with my fingers crossed :). As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
Exquisite is the only word for this elegant card. coloring and design blended well and the outcome was over the top.
Hi Sue...only one word beautiful
Vanessa x
This is stunning. I have tried doing the distressed edges and mine look like something has been chewing it!!! Must try harder.
Luv
Karen xx
Love the distressed edges. This is such a beautiful card. Love the milk card with the soft pink.
Hello Sue. This card must be my all time favourite, I love it. xx
Hi Sue
Well what can I say about this card as it's amazing. I love the distressed edges look. Must give this one a try. I do like the milk coloured card you have used, and have at last sent off for the Aqua card that they didn't have at Ally Pally, thanks to Mrs B telling me it was back in stock.
Hugs to Pam and Robbie as usual, Lancs Steph and Norah. Pete was busy talking to his brother in Bournemouth and then started to cut in ready to do the painting in the afternoon. Not much got done as he took our eldest grand daughter to work for three o'clock and then had to go and have his bloods done ready for the hospital next week. Hopefully he'll carry on tomorrow. Hugs to mRs B and SNdra who I saw earlier today.
Sue, like the others only you can make a distressed edged card look so elegant. Hazel x
Sandra, Mrs B and Pat I hope you all had a great day of chatting and crafting, but I bet you chatted more than crafted. As long as you all had fun that's the main thing.
lovely card Sue.
Hello Sue, stunning and beautiful. Enough said? I am sure everyone would love to win this, and we all have chance. Good luck all. Bx
Oh Sue this has to be my very favourite card. It reminds me of the Victorian Valentine cards - I have a small collection of them.
Thank you to all the angels out there for all the caring messages they send out to all in need of a little support and love. It makes such a difference to every day to know you are there for us all.
My love and hugs to all.
Meg.

Wow, Sue! Another stunning creation and I love that you've gone shabby chic. There is nothing you can't do! The soft colours really suit this style. That's exactly what your card has - style!
I received my winning stamp set today - thank you very much.
