Distessed #3


Okay I am totally stressed now from distressing! I have to quit for awhile! LOL
I ripped this card apart. It looked so good in my head, wish you could of seen it! But once on paper, ummmm, just not happy with it. Then I took a pic of it and it looked even worse. So I decided to fix it up some. The {} in the back was made in my graphics. I got this printed before the blow up. Nesite for the oval. I have this great stencil and I used it on my oval. Its for paper piercing but I used one ply of DMC and a quilting needle to stitch the flower. Took me a long time to thread that needle! DMC floss was used for the stitching. Flower again, made with my SU flower punch, my now best friend! Swirls from my EKSuccess punch. The upper right corner i took a 2x2 piece of cs and folded it down to look like a flap i guess. Used my brads and this is the part I ripped apart! I added that border to it. Then i had printed off a long time ago, little library cards. I stressed that up and put it in the little pocket there.
Gee when I write it all out, doesn't sound like a lot of work! LOL
Thanks for stopping by!
