So I spent this past weekend with one of my best friends, Korin AKA sweetnsassystamps, and she taught me how to make a collage. It seemed like it should be an easy thing to do but not for me who tends to lean towards clean lines lol. Anyway, after several failed attempts, this is what I came up with. All edges were distressed with scissors and sponged. I actually kinda like it and may be willing to try it again sometime . Thanks for looking!

It always feels odd to try something that is not our normal style, but looks like you hit the nail on the head with this one! I like the distressed shabby chic appearance of this pretty card, Janette! Your sponging is perfect and so are the color choices~

Lucky girl. You had an excellent teacher and you were an excellent student because this is unbelievable. Caught my eye in the gallery and I just had to take a closer look. Bravo.
