Welcome to another addition of Speedy the Cat and Friends Challenge. The challenge this week is distressing. I have both ink distressing and paper edge distressing. The Tim Holtz distressing tool came in real handy for the paper behind my PATP layer. I love that tool!
The image on this card is from Mark' Finest Papers called Wisteria of Encouragement. I decided to do the "Brick Wall" technique on this card with this pretty image. You can find it here at Mark's Finest Papers. The white flourish corners are chipboard from Recollection that I picked up in a package some time ago on sale for $1.99. The roses are prima flower. My Paper is K & Company. The large and medium butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend.
beautiful image and card.
