So what did I say I didn't do on Friday would that be distressing and whats the challenge this week on Simon Says Challenge, yes you guessed it, DISTRESSING (sorry to shout).I had to take a deep breath and this time I left the Tim Holtz distress tool in its bag and chose to use distress ink pads on the cardstock but thanks to the photographer I couldn't get it to show, I took ages inking everying in sight. The papers are K & Co and I even inked the flowers so they could be distressed too. I found my pokey tool so paper pierced to help the distress look finished off with A Sarah Kay
Fran sent me this award, I nearly fell off the chair when I read the wonderful things she said about me, I truly honoured that you past this award to me even if you cost me a fortune in stamps since I've known you and I spend far too much time on Facebook games trying to beat your scores.I've had a think and I think I will past this onto Annie (Ink'n' rubba) another person who I've visited for a long time, who like me is obsess with stamps particularly Elizabeth Bell and Sarah Kay.
Just stunning! I love this, the colours are just so beautiful, love the layers, the pricking detail and how you have made the image 3d, also how all the edges have been inked to soften the look. Just gorgeous!! hugs Juls
ReplyDeleteHi Debby

I couldn't believe it when I read your blog to find you had been distressing! I thought "why did you not save it for our challenge next week ?" !! Actually, both cards are absolutely fantastic and you do distress brilliantly even though you don't think so yourself.
