Distressing Dotty

Good morning everyone!

I can finally say that I've gotten rid of my cold, man that took a long while! So if I didn't manage to visit you and your blog the last few weeks, I'm sorry about that but have really been not feeling my best. I promise to make it up to you though and come and see you all this week ;)

Another week gone means another challenge @ Delightful Challenges: Distressing! In my sample, I've used both paper and ink distressing, but you can do either or both or distress in another way. Just don't get distressed yourself, that would be a waste. And it doesn't count :)



Somehow I really think Kraft card suits a distressed style better than a white base card, I don't know why. Hope you can join us! We are being sponsored by Joanna Sheen once again, offering the winner a 10 pound store voucher!


Materials
* Digital Delights Delightful Dotty set & Just for You Flower sentiment , coloured with Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers
* Kraft base card
* My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy True Blue DP
* Vintage Photo Distress Ink & TH Distress Tool

* Inside sentiment from Eline's Vintage sentiment stamp set
* Ribbons, gems and brads from my stash

* Card & Scrap (Flowers) My sentiment is a flower
* Craft Your Passion (Bingo) I've used Flower (sentiment), Ribbon & Yellow
* Great Impressions (Sentimental Journey)
* Crafty Pad (Autumn Colours) I've used Yellow and Brown

* Paper Pretties (Use Ribbon)
* A Blog named Hero (Tag You're It)
* Emerald Fairies (Use a Tag)
