My DT card for Polkadoodles.....

Hello lovelies,

It's that exciting time of the week where we have another fabulous challenge over at the

Polkadoodles Challenge Blog

the theme this week is

De-Stress.....

so we want to see distressing on your cards this week! Tear away, sand, rip, ink and de-stress away...lol....I love this theme!

I have used the Polkadoodles Sugarplum Daisy CD for my card and coloured the digi stamp using Faber-Castell Polychromo pencils in shades: Rose Carmine/Burnt Ochre/Raw Umber/Walnut Brown/Warm Grey 2/Mauve/Light Ultramarine/Cadmium Yellow/Light Yellow/Earth Green Yellowish and blended with Daler Rowney low odour thinners and paper stumps. I tore the edges of the digi and inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I cut a piece of textured cardstock to size, embossed in a folder, sanded and inked, fixed lace behind the edges and attached to the card.

The sentiment I scrunched and inked. I have used my Marianne Design Creatable LR0118 die to die cut three flourishes, and inked them. I used gauze and lace and embellished with flowers, beads and feathers.

I absolutely loved making this card. Distressing and vintage themes are a favourite of mine. I would love love love to see your creations for this fabulous challenge.

Hop over to the
