Hi there!! Today I have a fun card for you. It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC88)! Silke Ledlow is our challenge host this week. Silke is challenging us to ink and edge distressing. Ink and distress the edges of your cards to add dimension and texture. We would love to see what you create!
Get ready for the holidays. It's that time!! So to get your mind going make sure you check out the FOF challenge this week and the Flourishes blog on Wedensday you will be glad you did!
So here's my card. I used Winter Bouquet and Flourished Christmas stamp sets.
I embossed the large Lacey Square Spellbinders on Florishes Classic Ivory cardstock. I then used distress ink on the base card with the Lacey Square in place. I cut the next Lacey square and embossed. Stamped the Winter bouquet with Tuxedo Black ink colored with Copics.
See what the FOF made for this fun Christmas Distressed Challenge!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, my word, Dee! This is gorgeous! I love the embossed panel as a base. I need to figure out how to do that. Then your image on the lacey square is awesome! Love the muted colors and the sponging. You outdid yourself!
