Delightful Challenges...Distressed

Time for another challenge at 

Delightful Challenges.

The challenge is

 Distressed

Distress it,

Grunge it,

Rough it up.

 This week's sponsor is...

Now I am the first one to tell you

I don't do distressed.

But that is what challenges are, right?

To reach out of your comfort zone.

As always when I have a new design team project,

I go looking through the Digital Delights images.

See what speaks to me.

When I saw Handy Harry,

I knew he was the image I wanted.

I mean look at him, 

he's so cute.

And if I am gonna distress a card,

I need some help.

And a mouse with a tool kit 

seemed like just the help I needed.

Then there is the matter of a sentiment.

As a design team member,

we use only Digital Delight's sentiments.

So I went through the sentiments

and found this Feel Better sentiment set.  

I knew just which sentiment from the set to use!!

Here is my card...

I colored the image with

Copic Markers

B05, C5, E000, E00, E11, E25, E31, E33, E37, R02, R20, R29, Y13, Y28, YG17. 100

And Gel pens in

silver, gold, and white.

I did a fussy cut to Harry.

I used my SpellBinder Grand Calibur

and the Big Scalloped Rectangles SM for the mat

behind Harry.

I crumbled the mat up,

I chalked the edges of.

 the mat, the card, and the sentiment

with 

French Blue 

Color Box Chalk. 

The paper was from a huge pile of paper

I received from a Freecycler

when I first started cardmaking.

The brads are from Recollections

and I took a nail file and roughed them up.

The only thing I own that

 is actually a distressed embellishment

is 

Clear Rock Candy Stickles.

It was a gift.

So I knew I had to use it somewhere.

So I put a drop on each of the scallops

on Harry's mat. 

Of course I used my
We R Memories
Envelope Punch Board
and matching paper
and made an envelope.
Now I use a slightly different size
than the board states
for a 4.25" x 5.5" card.
I cut my paper to 8" x 8"
and score at 3.5".

I would have to say

I distressed it.

I grunged it.

And I roughed it up!!

Thanks for stopping by.
