Distressed out

Totally distressed or is it stressed .....not sure, however my card is def. distressed but still had to add bling in the form of gold machine stitching....which is a pain as it loops at the back but the front looks ok and I have used gold square mosaic gems from papermania on the ribbon as I didn't have a slider thinking about it I should have made one derrr..... it was late at night when I made this card. The papers are Wild asparagus from MME which are still my favourites. The stamp is from crafty individuals and the background is a mixture of glimmer mists however the flower was spritzed in irr.gold and starfish, the background papers have been distressed using aged mahogany.
Challenges:
Creative Beli challenge.....theme is colour spray, any excuse to use glimmer mists and thats for me.
Simon Says.......distressing.
ABC Challenge....R is for red.
Creative card crew........Vintage aged.
Mojo Monday......followed sketch.
Ink on my Fingers........Birds.
