Simon Says Lets Get Distressing ! :-) + hidden blog candy !

What a fabulous time we had last week seeing all your wonderful cards you made using Dawny P's sketch ! :-) You all obviously liked it ! ;-)

This week on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge we have another fab theme for you too ,,, We would like you to distress your cards :-) The DT have made some fab creations for you to see so hop over to the challenge blog to see them and don't forget to leave a comment on their blogs :-)




For my card I used the Simon Says Clear Stamps DREAM PARIS ROME NEW YORK Exclusive set




I used brown coredinations and some patterned paper by Basic Grey which was also distressed with antique linen distress ink. I inked a craft sheet with faded jeans, shabby shutters and broken china, spritzed with water and swirled white card around in it. When it was dry I stamped a Tim Holtz ornate collage then overstamped the Eiffel tower image with adirondack ink.

The key and oval shapes are grungeboard that I smothered in shabby shutters crackle paint and when it was dry I sponged black ink into all the cracks.

I used a Making Memories 'Dream eyelet' and a Tim Holtz muse token as well as a couple of Tim Holtz mini paper clips and game spinner.

I followed the fab sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge and am also entering this in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge who are asking us to use eyelets :-)
