Distressed Tilda

Something a little different from me today, I've had a go at distressing, I'm not very good at it I'm afraid!
I wanted this card to look like someone has taken the lid off an old box of someones keepsakes and found an old photo in amongst the letters and trinkets.
I'm entering it in the Just Magnolia Challenge and the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, which are both to use flowers this week and Magnolia challenge is to use hearts as well, hence the heart charm, well that's not hard for me as I love using flowers on my cards! I didn't go too OTT with the flowers today though, just a red and purple rose (that was white and was coloured with Copics).
The image is from the Magnolia winter collection, most of which have ended up on Ebay I'm afraid to say, it was the first time I bought the collection and probably the last :(
I put Tilda on top of the piano without thinking until I saw another card (I forget who's- sorry) where they sat her on the seat, which would have been much more appropriate! Oh well, we live and learn! I have seen a lot of discussion about the 'dressy older' type of Tilda and how people see her as a little girl, but I think she's still cute.
Thanks for looking x
