All Things Distressed

Hello!

I've just managed to get a quick card into the Casology challenge where the cue word is 'distress.'







I'm not a big fan of deliberately tearing or distressing paper - it goes against my clean and simple instincts - so I had a play with my Distress Inks for this one. I smooshed a background on some watercolour paper, then used a Winnie and Walter snow scene stencil to add a touch of gold embossing powder.  A little die cut dragonfly in black and gold and a gold embossed WMS sentiment and it was all done!

Hope you find the time to get distressed for the challenge - in a crafty kind of way of course!

Thanks for stopping,

Claire

  3. Perfection. Glancing at photos of cards does not do any good because we can't see the card. So glad I came in for a closer look because this card is gorgeous. Winner!

  4. Gorgeous card Claire. Love that background and the gold accents. That Asian Gardens sentiment goes so well with the dragonfly too.
