Lots of distressing, sponging, sewing and vintage-y things going on, just to my heart's liking. :)
The frayed flower was cut from a spool of wired ribbon that I purchased from the Ribbon Carousel. Corinna regularly adds coupons to the Ribbon Carousel blog...on top of her already incredible prices...so sign up to get access to those savings...and some of the sweetest ribbon around!
We went to dinner at my mom's house last night and I was rifling through her button assortment and came up with quite the goody bag for myself, this sweet little wooden button being one of them. Thanks, mom! I also had her search through her sewing cabinet to see if she had any vintage/old lace that I could swindle, but she had cleaned house already. :(
Ok, off to do normal, mundane household stuff. Ugh.
Have a super crafty day~

ReplyDeleteWOWZA!!! This is something special indeed!!!! Love it. Especially the shabby, frayed flower. And I Love the distressed edges, you've really gone to town on it. Looks superb. I only daintily fray the card and it's hardly noticeable. Think I'll try and imitate you next time as I adore the effect. Thx for the inspiration. Px
ReplyDeleteWow Andrea! You did it again with a truly gorgeous card! That frayed flower is so beautiful and the card is so soft, vintage, girly....and so much more! Thank you for the inspiration. I know I will be trying some of your techniques.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer that your mom didn't have any lace left to give you, but I'm glad you got some buttons out of the search!
ReplyDeleteGreat combo of challenges here, and as always, very elegant and beautiful!
