Distressing!!!!

This is my first attempt at using Tim Holtz distressing inks...kinda watched him all day on QVC, and was totally blown away by what he can do.....
So as I needed to do a card for Niges friends lad I decided to use Mikey from Charmed Crafts and enter him in their challenge....
Not quite sure if I've got this distressing right yet but practice makes perfect...and I think I need to get some more inks as only got two, didn't want to spend loads then not use them....







stuffs used
Mikey image from Charmed crafts / Dotties World printed on IQ paper, distressed with aged mahogany
Coloured with my Promarkers
backingpaper docrafts funky vintage
sentiment Daisy & Dandelion
ribbon runner cut on my slice and distressed with aged mahogany

Sketch and Stash challenge

Well after spending ages trying to decide what to use for this challange, I decide to use some of my new papers that I had brought on Monday night at my craft class....as I was in absolute agony with my knee (having fell last week and kissed the pavement outside my front door lol) my darling hubby had to help me upstairs to my class...(usually I have a good ole rummage around the shop and always buy £2 worth of papers) well after getting settled down and having a good ole chin wag I remembered I hadn't paid my fee...so I sent KT down to pay (she always comes along for the ideas) and gave her an extra £2 to get some papers. I thought her picking might change my colours that I use (black and white, orange and brown are my absolute favs at the mo) well she came back with 40 sheets of the most outragious colours....oranges, teal, red (bright red) and some lovely warm greens and yellows that I would never ever had picked up...so the papers used to make this card are new thanks to KT lol

The image is a digi download from http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/acatalog/Holly_and_Madison.html the sentiment stamp is a block stamp from Create and Craft (wilkinsons £1.80 lol) ...the flower is a download from http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/ and as I said the papers were from my local craft shop...my trusty corner rounder thingy lol..and my procraft corner die cut...H20's to paint her and a few bits a stickles to make it look like bubbles coming outta her glass..

Thanks for looking hugs
