Amazing Grace is one of my favorite hymns. Chris Tomlin has a wonderful version of it that I love listening to. This is an ODBD stamp that hadn't seen ink until today. As you can tell, I distressed the image with Tim Holtz Antique Linen and Tea Dye inks. I torn the upper left corners and tried to make them look like they survived a fire. I rolled the edges of the upper right corner.
Now, here is my question. What embellishments would you put on this card? I kept staring at it last night and couldn't figure out what to use. Any suggestions?????

This is beautiful the way it is - great distressing and layering. I suppose a vintage brad in one corner could be added but certainly not necessary - the music works will on its own.

Sissy, this is one of my favorite songs, especially the last stanza...." when we've been there 10,000 years"..... What a beauty to bring to tea my friend. I see your heart all over this! Lymi

A perfect challenge for you to ink this up - and I know the Chris Tomlin version too . I wouldn't add any embellishments - I can understand you might feel it looks plain, but it certainly doesn't at all look unfinished.
