A distressed angel

Hello lovely people,

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend whatever you have been getting up to.

I did a few bits around the house, a little crafting including a last minute card for my Dad's birthday, which I forgot was on Monday - oops!

Last night I popped over to a friend's house for a girly evening and to design the table plan display for her wedding in 2 weeks time - we are both very excited!

After all that excitement, I am here to showcase some LOTV products as part of the Design Team and it's a little 'Something for the Weekend' so hop over to LOTV HERE for the PDF with step-by-step instructions on how to make this card, and tips on distressing and how to make the cute ruffled seam binding.

I showed a card (HERE) with one of the returning Christmas angels a few weeks ago and made this one at the same time but gave it a more distressed look.

Isn't she a little darling?  So serene...butter wouldn't melt!

My MISTI was a great help for stamping the details onto the corners of the DP as it enabled me to line up exactly the sections of the stamps I wanted to add.

It's not easy to see all of them in the photos but I added a scattering of pearls around the flowers and little clusters of them under the rolled edges.
