Saw some peeling wallpaper that exposed old cracked walls under neith long ago at a restaurant that was supposed to be decorated kind of rustic and old fashioned. The image stayed in my head and finally become a card.
I didn't stamp anything on the tag yet, that will come later once it's final destiny is determined.
TFL!

Love your card and tag! This is gorgeous. I'm very jealous.
I have tried to make distressed cards in the past, 2 to be exact, and mine just don't seem to turn out---instead of looking pretty, mine look dirty and old like someone droped a card on the floor and it has been trampled by a thousand people....
Just so you understand where I'm coming from....I gave one to my sister as a birthday card, and she asked me what happened to it! She thought it had been damaged or something before I got it to her!!!
Made me feel just great after all the work I put into it....I get *distressed* just thinking about it....
