Distressing on Friday

Sorry for the wonky photo it looked straight on the camera and I know that the cards are a perfect square so it as to be the photographer.
Now my good friend Kathy has done a fab sketch for the Sugar Bowl but she added an option which I nearly didn't take up but with the Tim Holtz distress tool at the ready, I distressed everything that needed to stuck down except Raven from Sugar Nellie. The papers are My Minds Eye Beloved and even the backing mat for Raven, I scrunched and inked. Add the a touch of ribbon and some fab roses both had a bit ink dabbed to match the distressing.
Since there's quite a few layers I'm going to be cheeky and enter it for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge this week.
I may have to retake the photo, it's starting to annoy me.

I knew I had an Award but even by going through the comments again I couldn't find it but finally here it is.
