You Complete Me!

Texture!!!!
Some times it's hard to add texture to a card, or project, but I can tell you all it was so much fun.
I used distress inks and embossing powder to create a rusted like background, it has this tiny bumps and a coarse feeling all over.
Some stitches were added to the sentiment, for added texture.
To finish this card I used some buttons.
Here is my creation:
Image: Smeared Ink 



I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Thanks!
Love,
Julia
