CCC21 - Perfect Distress

Need to get my crafting head back on I've been full of cold this week and had two sick children, so not felt like doing much at all. As usual I've left it till last minute again for this week's Compendium challenge, Perfect Distress. Now I love my Perfect Pearls, but could I get this card to work, no. Took me all afternoon to come up with something I was reasonably happy with.



Apologies for the photo the light kept reflecting off it.

I used an Inkadinkdoo stamp and all the blue distress inks; tumbled glass, stormy sky, faded glass and broken china with the White Pearl powder. The papers are of course from Tim's Vintage Shabby stack, my all time favourites.

You may remember last week I mentioned going to a friend's wedding, it was a fantastic day, the venue and weather were beautiful, the food was out of this world and the bride looked gorgeous.

Here's me and Ali, we go back to primary school, over 30 years ago!

See you all next week, I must get back into blogging more often.

Cards for Men - Sketch



This fantastic simple sketch is great for a quick card, perfect for men, not my favourite sort to do.

Backing paper is Papermania (i think - had it ages) with some American Crafts cardstock. Image and sentiment are from a clear Inkadinadoo set. "Age is only a number - mine is unlisted" Coloured the little lizard with Copics.
