Hello Blogger's.
Easter Sunday here and a very quiet day, which is good. The sun keeps trying to break through but plenty of showers still. Hope you're enjoying time with family with maybe a bit of craft time too.
I managed to finish my card for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #5 last night, and photographed it between showers this morning. The challenge was to make a Distressed card using one of Cheryl's images. I used the first image I bought, which was from Squigglefly, called Country Girl or Sweet Melissa. I love this image and have made several cards with it, this is the first distressed one though.
Like yesterdays card I printed onto some self patterned dp. I used Copic markers to colour this one and all the edges were distressed with scissors and distress ink - antique linen.
Base card is SU Kraft with American Crafts orange for the mat. The dp is from Kaisercraft paper pad The Devonshire Collection. I've torn and rolled edges and also added the lacing using 'distressed' string. I find it quite hard to tear pretty paper but quite like the effect!
The only embellishment being the three Kaisercraft gems.
Hope you like this one - I'd love to know how you feel about distressed cards........leave me a comment.... tell me!
Enjoy your day........ I'll be back tomorrow evening with TMITA/PCC Magical Monday.
Till then.........
Love the card , Sue . I don't create as many ' distressed ' cards as I would like . Don't know why ! Because I really like this technique .
ReplyDeleteI liked your rolled edges and more so the torn bit joined by the string.
Hi Sue! Happy Easter to you! Sunny and warm for Easter in Melbourne...sorry! I think you have done a good job with your "distressing" card but I personally do not overly like the technique (even though I have used it on occasions)I think it more works for scrapbooking than cards- cards need to be more "professional" looking to compete with store bought ones- (in my humble opinion anyway)
ReplyDeletehow adorable! I love the distress look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Sue, I love those papers, great colours! And I love distressed cards!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Sassy Cheryl's!

ReplyDeleteI like your card very much, Sue! Especially the "lacing" technique -- what a wonderful idea that is! I can't quite make myself distress cards but you might have given me the initiative to try one!
