Sadly having to make too many of these cards recently.
I stamped off the edge all round repeatedly with a little floral stamp that I've had since I started cardmaking - one of those that is handy again and again - inked with memento rich cocoa and I brushed the edges very lightly with distress ink, as well as doing this to the image.
They say that the camera never lies, but somehow it has made the lace look arched rather than straight, although in reality it was fine - can't take another picture because the card has gone.
This is for:
Addicted to CAS 38: off the edge
Amusing challenges (stamped blessings): distress
Deep ocean 77: distressing
Addicted to stamps and more 94: CAS
Just for fun May: ribbon or lace
Cardz 4 guyz 17: bingo - I chose the middle line across - distressing/image/sentiment (think this is suitable for a man to receive)
Word art Wednesday 131: anything goes
Sarah Hurley 92: anything goes
Loves rubber stamps 102: anything goes
