The challenge this week over at Simon Says Challenge is 'Distressing'. I think I've distressed Dandelion enough!
He's coloured with WC pencils and to be quite honest I have no real sequence to my distressing! I use an emery board and a fine emery block - that my nail lady gives me :) ***If you get your nails done too ask them if you can have the boxes that the nail extensions come in - I have about 20 of them and they hold brads, charms, gems etc perfectly in their little compartments!***
Back to Dandelion!
Once I've distressed all of the elements with the files etc I add some chalk ink with cotton wool. I might then get the block on it again - I just keep going! Hubby says I distress him a bit like that too :0
The papers are just plain card stock, other than the 2-tone Gunmetal paper I got from Paperchase - and LOVE it.
I wanted to share this picture with you! Archie was trying his hardest to get in on it - he looks like he can smell Dandelion's catch!
Millie, his sister, wasn't far away either!
Gorgeous card carol, love your distressing!
