Distressing circle flowers

Everyone’s making these distressed circle flowers lately so I thought I’d better have a go, even though I’m not sure if like them or not. Well, put it this way, I like other people's better than my efforts!

After all that fiddling with circle punches, distressing and layering, I thought I’d better keep the rest of the card simple and just sponged chalk around the edges of the Very Vanilla background, which I layered onto Bravo Burgundy and Kraft.

The Brocade Blue Grosgrain Ribbon is 5/8” wide but, as there is already so much distressing on this card, I thought the fraying wouldn’t matter if I cut it in half lengthways to make this narrow flag.

    Love this card, really simple yet so effective. Haven't had a go at making these flowers yet, but yours look great
