Dream Valley Challlenge 13 - Distressing

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's time for another challenge at Dream Valley and this fortnight we are lucky enough to be sponsored by Digi Doodles  AND One Stop Card Crafts!

Our theme is "Distressing"  Now, I have to admit that this is a HUGE challenge for me, favouring clean and simple as I do......what do you mean I have to rough up my lovely papers and add ink!  Some people are so amazing at this style, like my teamie Sara, but here is my first attempt, using Digi Doodles Daisy Girl:


I promise that that the edges have been roughed up with a pair of scissors and inked..........And my 2nd attempt, using Digi Doodles Country Path - the distressing is a little more obvious here!
So, if I can do distressing, ANYONE can, so please come and join us at Dream Valley!

  9. Me too sweetie!
    It took me ages to get the the look right but then I treated myself to the wee Tim Holtz distress tool and it works a treat on papers!
    Adore the both of these! Your colouring is amazing! You will need to do some tutorials and show me how!
