Well I am not to sure about this at all, so putting it up and will see if I enter it or not. I have taken the picture of the card from this angel to show that Willow is raised from the backing papers. I have distressed the edges of the papers and then mounted onto green card stock to high light this fact, and with the antique lace to give an antique feel to the card. I debated faux stitiching the papers or sewing them, but felt it would detract too much hence the slight distessing. I hope you like.
