mgk CAS oxymoronic card

Photo Details

Poster: toknighton

Here is a dual card with oxymoronic twists:
CAS and shabby chic, not an easy pairing for me! and the sentiment too. All edges are distressed with the tool and/or fingernails and sponged. Razzleberry faux lace and floral elements are all faux suede. Sentiment mat is crumpled too. Close up of the flowers here: mgk flower close up by toknighton at Splitcoaststampers

Your title cracks me up - though I have to agree with you! Your card is so beautiful and you did a great job of pulling off this oxymoron!

Way to go with the challenges. Your rosebud is beautiful and so are the other 2 flowers. VERY pretty card.
