Distressed Cards Showcase

Last week we defined distressing as altering your paper or embellishments to create a well-worn or aged look. We also shared with you some distressing techniques (paper tearing, crumpling, and sanding)as ways to achieve that look. This week we'd love to share with you some of the highlights from all of the amazing card submissions we had of your distressed creations.

This first card here, I just had to feature from Aymee Gandy, aka "southernbellescrapper". Aymee's card hit on every technique of article on distressing. Here you can see Aymee uses the tearing technique to create her stripes of her American flag, her embellies have been lightly crumpled and distressed with an edge distresser, and her embossing has been lightly sanded to reveal the inner core of her color core paper.
