Lets get Distressed

This weeks challenge from Michelle Perkett Studio is to use distressing so I've used some of my favourite techniques in this card as I love distressing

The image is coloured with promarkers and the background watercoloured with Shabby Shutters and distress inks. I used to same colours to create a background sheet and then cut it up and altered the pieces for this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday. The large background is overstamped with a swirls and versamagic 'eggplant'. The vertical panel is inked with lots of the darker eggplant ink, cuttlebugged and then sanded.The two smaller pieces are overtstamped with swirls using with the same two distress inks and dusted with cosmic shimmer powders. I then distressed the edges of all the pieces with my craft knife and inked them with eggplant. The image is mounted with foam pads and I added some paper rose, ribbon and a little charm which says 'Follow your Dreams' to finish off for this weeks challenge from I Love Digi which is Charming

Thanks for looking and happy Monday morning to everyone :-)
