Now, are you ready to see what I came up with? For those of you that know me, I love distressing and do it ALL the time!!! :D:D:D
Trust in the Lord
Recipe:
Paper: PTI Kraft, Ripe Avocado, K&Company Life's Journey
Stamps: ODBD Scripture Collection 2
Ink: ODBD Olive, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Antique Linen
Accessories: Nesties Labels 3+5, mini paper roses (not Prima) , Zva Creative pearl flourish in Taupe Antique brass heart button, hand dyed seam binding, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, foam tape
So, what do you think? I think I really like the way it turned out...the seam binding has a little shimmer to it (I've used Glimmer Mist) to dye it and it works so nicely. A little tip, I bought two kinds of seam binding...one is a no name and it sucks....really, when it gets wet it kind of separates and gets not so nice looking. I also used some Hug n' Snug and it works awesome!!!! I will not try to save $ 1.00and go with just Hug n' Snug now, LOL!!!! You can buy it directly at http://www.zipperstop.com/ or go on eBay and search Hug n' Snug seam binding. It is tons of fun (and a little messy) to get all the different colors dyed, but it is so gorgeous when you are done. I have used Glimmer Mist, re-inkers and black tea....awesome results with all three choices!!!
All right, would you like to get some more inspiration? My design sisters have outdone themselves once again....we even have a scrapbook layout...how awesome is that? So why don't you leave me some love ;D;D and head on over to
Well, this is it for me for today, I have survived the first week back to school and I think I am back to a little more normal schedule ;D.
Have a fabulous weekend full of blessings!!
Hugs,

Sabrina so sorry I have not been around the past couple weeks but between 10 days of vacation and then the grands coming I have had NO time to keep up with comments~ But that sure is no reflection on how beautiful this card is! I love your style gf and the colors on this are so beautiful!!Love the distressing! Love YOU sister! Hugs,

So elegant and beautiful! You just rock the beautiful card category, Sabrina.
OMG- I just LOVE this card!! It is absolutely beautiful! The first thing I wanted to know when I saw this was what the gorgeous ribbon was. Seam binding, huh? Just when I thought I might actually have enough ribbon and trim... hahaha, I guess that will never be the case! Thanks so much for enabling me with all the info. I am guessing you just buy white or beige and then ink it up. How fun!!!
