This one was a bit of a struggle - who knew this simple card could be so difficult! I had at first envisioned this as an elgant card but as I went on it became more and more rugged due to several (or more) mishaps. I finally gave in and gave it the distressed look it seemed so determined to have. I have entered the card into the following challenges:
1. Marks's Finest Paper (Speedy the Cats Friends Challenge #28: Piercing http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/
2. Winter Wonderland: Sing a Christmas Song http://christmasblogchallenge.blogspot.com/
3. Crafty Cardmakers challenge #33: Stitching real or faux http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.com/2010/11/challenge-33-stitching.html
Stamp: SU Christmas Carolers
Ribbon: from MichaelsPaper: SU Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: chocolate chip
Other: Sakura gelly roll pen, Opal glitter glue, piercing tool
