Moments With You Are Magical

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)

We have a new challenge starting as of today at Crafts and Me Challenges.This week the amazingly talented Angela is hosting the challenge and she chose
Distress/Vintage

Ohhhh... this is just perfect for me.. I soooo love distressing :-)
 


I used the adorable 'Rachel Anderson's Lily of the Valley' stamp available at Crafts and Me

I really did a LOT of distressing on this card ;-)
Not only did I distress all the paper edges (the design paper is from the digi paper pack called 'drip-drop {the papers}' by Joyful Heart Designs available at The Digichick). But I also used Gesso and Distress inks to distress the papers further more, and also the paper flowers and even the twine :)

The sentiment is from the new 'Everyday Mini Postage Stamps' set by Whimsy Stamps. I stamped the 'magical' sentiment, cut out the inner rectangle and then die cut a piece of black cardstock using the coordinating 'Mini Postage Stamp Die' by Whimsy Stamps

  39. Hallo Sylvia,
    nach langer Zeit besuche ich dich wieder auf deinen Blog, erst dachte ich ups alles englisch hmmm kann nicht Sylvia sein, denn irgendwie war auch der Stil deiner Karten verändert, nun war ich noch mehr verunsichert, ok wo war denn das Profilbild ach da und siehe da doch auf der richtigen Seite gelandet.
    Also deinen neuen Stil hatte ich ja schon erwähnt und er gefällt mir sehr sehr gut.
    Ich wünsche dir ein schönes sonniges Wochenende
    Liebe Grüße
    Karla
