I don't do distressing

What on earth was I thinking, I don't do distressing. I really need someone in my craftroom to tell me to put down the Tim Holtz distressing tool and step away from the card. I really don't think this has worked and poor Tilda maybe destined for the bin unless she grows on me.
I used Tab's sketch on Just Magnolia and My Minds Eye Asparagus papers, the background stamp behind Tilda is a Crafty Individuals.
I have made several cards this morning which is way I'm running late with this post they're all Wedding Invitation samples, luckily no 3d it certainly speeded things up and guess who forgot to photo them before my Sis whizzed them away.
