Craft Your Days Away DT Card # 37 Distressing


Good morning.  It is the weekend again, yayyyyy, and time again for a new challenge at Craft Your Days Away.  This week the lovely Lesley set the challenge of Distressing which is really not my thing and after many days and wasted cards here is my creation.   The black card has been embossed and then sanded but I have covered most of this up now especially as the sanding did not produce the desired results. I then distressed all my edges with scissors and inked the edge of my image so have done lots of distressing.  Once finished I did enjoy making my card and it is certainly good to go out of your comfort zone and stretch yourself but I had a few days of pulling my hair out!lol

We are sponsored this week by the fab Bugaboo Stamps who are offering 7 fab digi images to the lucky winner.

For my card I have used:-

Agreat bugaboo image called Silhouette-Elephant Paisley
DCWV card and papers
Card candi and black gems

I would like to enter my card into the following challenge:

Delightful Challenges - Distressed/vintage

Please pop along to Craft Your Days Away to take a peek at my teamies creations and we would love to see your creations too.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

LOTV Fave Stamp

Good evening and hope you are all keeping warm.  Here is a card I have made using my favourite LOTV stamp (well one of many).  It was soooooooooooo difficult to choose a fave as I love them all but I especially love this stamp as it is so versatile being able to write a little message in his envelope. As you can see it is a card I have made for my Nan who is 90 next week.

Items used:
LOTV stamp coloured with Promarkers
DCWV papers - very old
Forever Friends sentiment
MS butterfly punch and doily border punch
Quickutz scallop circle die.

I would like to add my card into the following challenges:-

LOTV -favourite stamp
Charisma - Happy 3rd Birthday
Stamping 4 the weekend - Out With the Old - papers are very old
Winter Wonderland - Birthdays Wishes
Thanks for looking and any comments you may leave.
