This challenge is right up my alley!! I love to distress and I didn't hold back today. The photo stamp I'm using has always reminded me of my WV Grandma..she came from a large family so I thought this looked liked Grandma and some of her sisters ...she had 6 and 6 brothers, some of whom died in infancy. I pretty much distressed everything on this card. I used an old book page for background, framed the image with gaffer tape and magic mesh. The flower is made out of ledger paper and I added tiny tags of kraft paper with various embellishments.

Way too cool! Love all the distressing of Grandma and her sisters.. She looks like one tough old bird..mostly because they had to be! LOL Love the bits of lace and the buttons.
