Joanna Sheen - Design Team Tutorial

Hello lovelies and welcome to my Distressing Technique Tutorial.

 

This is my design team tutorial which is over on the

 

JOANNA SHEEN CHALLENGE BLOG

 First of all you will need the following materials...

7"x7" card blank ~ Sanding tool ~  DAISY & FRIENDS CD ROM AVAILABLE TO BUY ON THE JOANNA SHEEN WEBSITE ~ Distress Ink Frayed Burlap ~ Blending Tool ~ Distressing Tool ~ Ribbon ~ Buttons ~ Twine ~ Ruler.

Using your sanding tool, sand the edges of the card blank. Use your blending tool to then add the Frayed Burlap ink around the rough edges.

 

 

From the cd print off two sheets of decorative paper that co-ordinate. Also print of a Daisy Topper.

Trim the flowery paper to 6"x6". Use a ruler along each edge and tear the edge towards you to create a distressed edge.

 

 

Ink the edges with frayed burlap and use double-sided tape to attach to the card blank.

 

 

Trim a strip of check paper to fit along the left of the card.

 

 

Tear around each edge to create a distressed look.

 

 

 

Ink the edges as before and scrunch the paper into a ball.

 

 

Carefully unfold and ink lightly over some of the creases.

 

 

Attach a length of ribbon to the right of the card and tie a bow. Use silicon glue to attach the creased panel so it is slightly raised.

 

 

Trim the topper and distress the edges using the distressing tool.

 

 

Ink around the edges and use silicon glue to attach over the ribbon. To finish, thread twine through two buttons, and glue these to the card along with three other buttons as shown. Stamp a Happy Birthday greeting in the bottom right corner.
