Now I'm sure they're trying hide behind words over at Simon Says Stamps Challenge lets not call it distressing lets call it Vintage, Now I see Vintage as old stuff or new stuff made to look like old stuff and to do that you have, thats right, you have to distress it. Don't tell anyone but I'm really pleased how this turned out. The papers are My Minds Eye, distress torn with a contrast piece underneath the torn bits and I used my pokey tool to make the pinprick holes and to finish a sweet Sarah Kay image with a bit of lace and ribbon.Now we're show casing Prima Flowers this week, well thats a story in it self, first my flowers are in colour all mixed up with various makers, so I brought myself a marvellous set from Prima from Simon Says Stamps. It has bright sunny flowers with buttons etc all to match and its fab but I do suggest that you read what challenge they're for before you buy them cos they don't work for Vintage.
Lucky for me I remember Lols sending some prima flowers for Christmas and although they're colour coded I do remember these fab hydrangeas which I had to DISTRESS to match the card and the fab pearls are Papermania from my stash.
Now don't forget to join us at Simon Says Stamps Challenge and you can win shopping voucher for $25 all postage paid. They've just added Greeting Farm and CC cuties too you can see them here.I had a fab day yesterday my friend came for the day and after a long chat, we craft and stopped to watch Sir Tim on QVC. But I'm suffering a bit today, a case of a punch too many.
Debby this is just STUNNING! i love the papers and gorgeous distressing, the lace and ribbon look fab too!

Debby you did a wonderful job of distressing this in spite of your aversion to it! This is lovely--very vintage and old-fashioned. The image is so sweet and beautifully done.

Hi Debby, this is gorgeous....I love distressing, so this is right up my street.
ReplyDeleteThank's for the advise about the eyelet setter, I was watching QVC all day yesterday and there was one on there I was drooling over along with TH stuff...I dropped load's of hint's but sadly I think hubby was ignoring me...lol.
I am popping down to see Wendy today, she went to the craft show, so I can't wait to hear what's coming out next...Jane will be there today so I am hoping to bump into her too...
Have a great day...

Ooo I love it too. I think this is your best 'vintage/distressed' yet Debby, so not surprised you love it. see - practice makes perfect :) If you want quicker way than pokey tool for the holes you should get a tracing wheel only £2 - I use mine all the time now - much quicker. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Debby! Those flowers look so soft and pretty! jo x

You crack me up Debby with your distaste for distressing! ha ha ha! This card really is super duper cute and still has a "Debby" look about it! It is simply GORGEOUS! P.S. I do the same with my flowers and so I went out and bought them since they wouldn't get here in time for the challenge. Goodness!
