Hi Girls...
Guess what it's time for again? Does the colour of my card give you a clue??? (And yes it IS pink... just a plummy-dusky-type pink!!)
WELL... the weeks are rolling by, and it's time for another In the Pink Challenge... and this time the challenge is to use some sort of distressing. As there are a lot of different techniques that are known as distressing, I thought this would be nice to do.... and I was right... I very much enjoyed making this card... even though I have been bunged up with a nasty head cold... our house smells of Olbas Oil and cough pastilles!
- Image - A Day for Daisies - Braid in My Hair
- Paper - Maja Designs
- Colouring - Copics and Promarkers
- Lace and Ribbon from Stash
- Crystal Stickles around image
- Cosmic Shimmer Pearl Glue - dotted around image
- Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet
I used an oval nestie to cut the image shape.... then used the blade of my scissors to distress the oval edge.. after I'd used the distress ink to shade around the oval. Then finally I added Crystal Stickles to add glitter to the distressed edge. I also used the Distress Ink for the edge of my square DP.
Hope you're all staying warm in this chilly weather... the snow seems to be disappearing a bit here, but sounds like we may get more before this cold snap is over! I'm off to the hairdressers today to get rid of my grey... (!)... hope it doesn't snow while I'm out!
Big hugs to all and Happy Crafting
