Good morning everyone!!! Did y'all survive the Memorial Day weekend?? We will be eating our leftovers all week...LOL!!! I finally got to Lowes and bought a few flowers for my empty pots....boy, are the flowers looking puney!! They are pretty picked over this time of year....hopefully they will perk up once they get a little food and water!! Anyway....
I made this card yesterday for the TLC challenge on Splitcoast...Judy was the hostess and she had a real easy challenge for us today...distressing. I used Crafty Secret's Birdies at Home set for the birdcage, branch, bird, and sentiment which were all stamped with Versamark Onyx Black and lightly colored with Copics. Unity's music score background was lightly stamped with Sahara Sand over the images. I used Susan Robert's Rainy Day's May 2012 sketch and distressing and sewing was done on the layers and background paper. The Spellbinder's Rose Creations diecuts with pearl centers and the ribbon finish it off.
This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Crafty Cardmakers - distressing
2. House of Gilli - diecuts/punches
3. Karen's Doodles - stitch it up
4. Incy Wincy - vintage
5. Corrosive Challenge - not too shabby
Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!!!!

Terrific card, love the beautiful flowers you used to go with the pretty image! Love your card!
Oh my Joan! You make me want to run down and give shabby a try! LOVE the look but I have not been able to master it as you have!!! Thanks for the inspiration~
Your distressing looks great. I can't ever get mine to look that distressed (maybe I'm impatient). Love your card and that background paper is so pretty, as are your flowers.
so beautiful!!
great card...love that birdcage. The distress edges and added flowers are just perfect...love it.
That was the one thing I learned quickly after moving to TX I had to move early on the flowers, we would just be thinking about it in CT :) I know with your green thumb those flowers will be gorgeous! Love your card with the embossing, colors and the flowers framing it. I am with you on the leftovers.
Fantastic!Love all the distressing and those flowers! So pretty.
