Distress It

Good morning and can you believe its the First of September??? The trees have started to turn and the nights are certainly drawing in - sigh!  Now I must apologise if I have missed calling in to see you.  My darn Reading List disappeared for two days finally reappearing yesterday.  I have tried to catch up but it takes so long and I only have so much time to spend blogging.  I have already commented this morning and now when I came to do this post I just notice my Reading List has disappeared yet again!!!!!

Anyway enough of my moaning! Today I have two posts, this is the first one.  A new challenge is starting at A Little Bit Crafty and the theme is Distress It.  Not something I do that often but such fun when you do!


I used a cute little Wee digital stamp and coloured her with my Copics and loads of Glamour Dust to her wings.  I did distress around the image with some Milled Lavender DI whilst it was still in the die.  The papers are Nitwits I think its called Flower Shoppe, a new one, and I have used my Tim Holtz Distress tool on it.  The doily behind the image is a Marianne die and I cut it to make it fit around.  The flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearl trim I got from E Bay. I used a sketch from Papertake Weekly for the layout.


We have some fabulous sponsors this month:


£15 Artistic Stamper Stamps


Prize to follow


£20 Gift Voucher

Don't forget you have nearly a month to enter and we love to see any handmade project not just cards!  Pop over to A Little Bit Crafty and see what the rest of the DT have done.

Challenges I would like to enter:

Papertake Weekly - Free Choice I used No 80 
Simon Says - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for looking and I will be back later with my next DT make! Take care xx

    Hi Suzie,

    Gorgeous card, love the layout, image and colour, very pretty.

    Don't worry about commenting, I know the feeling well, I want to comment on everyone's posts each day but it takes me 2 hours, time I don't have unfortunately. I now comment as often as I can but don't worry about it anymore, I have very limited time to make cards as it is lol! Not sure why you keep losing your lists thought, probably blogger again!

    Love * Hugs

    Very pretty card Susan. My reading list has done the same, but that's been on and off for a week nearly. Then when it reappears you see lots of posts, you go into one come out and none of the other posts are there. All fun and games these days. Hazel xx
