Vintage Butterly!


Today was one of those days when it took me almost all day to make a card. I found this cuttlebug challenge and decided to try it. So when it comes to distressing I immediatly think of something Victorian, and this is it... So I cuttlebugged to my hearts content and also used a lot of distressing techniques on the edges as well as sanding over the embossed areas. I even embossed that poor little butterfly... HE HE! I just had to add a button because what is Victorian without buttons.. LOL! I also had to add some bling...
