This card is for two challenges this week. For the TSC, Lovely Linda challenged us to make a card using distressing and lace. I needed black lace and couldn't find any, so I 'made' some lace with a border punch. Thank you Linda for the fun challenge!!!
I cased the image panel, sentiment, and ribbon from Mrs. Boz's beautiful card here; Enbrace by MrsBoz at Splitcoaststampers
For the IC this week we were to use skating costumes. I chose this costume; http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/969...y-Images-Sport.
Thank you Stef for the awesome challenge! I love figure skating...
And, thank you all for looking!

Hey birthday girl! I love the lace you have punched- and it is so perfectly lined up! (I couldn't in a million! lol) The black looks so striking with those elegant blooms and your distressed edges look great. Fine job missy! LYMI
