Time for another challenge at
The challenge is
Distressed
Distress it,
Grunge it,
Rough it up.
This week's sponsor is...
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.
