I'm not too happy w/ this. I don't think it turned out like I imagined, but then I'm not sure what I imagined!! I sponged a tea bag on the white punched panel (thanks marleygo, Lesley) for the TLD Old World Look. I have no distressing inks. My base card is 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 for the CAS Long & Thin challenge. I wrapped some Cappachino twine into a double bow to 'tie' the roses.
Thanks for getting me to do something new in using a tea bag. I'm really not much into distressing. That in itself distresses me!
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
No punchez by me

I don't know what you imagined, Girlfriend, but this is awesome. I love that sponged lace. You have no distress inks??? I think I feel sorry for you. Most of mine are distressed. I can hardly make a card w/o them. So I just LOVE your card AND the beautiful envelope to match. Way to go.
It may not be how you imagined it but it's beautiful! Just the thumbnail jumped out at me. Love your punched edge and the roses are so pretty. Like the twine. This is a great card.

Your tea bag did a great job - I like the delicate look of that lacy panel - and the daffodils add to that pretty look. I think you did very well on this.

Well, my friend.....before I even saw it was my gf that made this beauty, it made me think of my aunt-she was an antique dealer in Ohio and she collected all kinds of artwork and old magazines. Perfect...that's what I say and you know what I say...goes! Haha, jk, but I love it.
