Distressing with Bee Crafty

100_4321

It’s time for another wonderful Bee Crafty Challenge. This weeks challenge is to use some sort of distressing.

I used the Birthday Cake image for my distressing challenge. I colored it with water colors and added some stickles. I then cut it out with a round nestie, mated it with the next size of round and then a scalloped nestie. I distressed the two round cuts with brown chalk. I then cut some K&Co. DP to size and used a Tim Holtz distressing tool around the edges. I punched the edge of another piece of K&Co paper with the MS doily lace punch and distressed all those edges. Glued everything together and added a few itty bitty buttons and some trim.

If you'd like to play along with the distressing challenge, go to the Bee Crafty blog and check out what all the other DT created and make your own project using any digi image.

I scheduled this post since I am in Utah right now. Hopefully, I will be home sometime today!

Blessings,

Christine

Wonderful card Christine, love the 'fabric' styling and textures here, works beautifully with the warm grey and pink colours. Thanks for a great DT card :)
