Make it Monday #5: Distressing Edges
I am loving the Make it Monday challenges. This week Lisa Johnson issued the challenge to use distressing. This is one of my favorite techniques. For this card I used the Year of Flowers: Roses stamp set. I stamped about six roses and then cut them out omitting certain petals each time. I wanted to have several layers in order to make a 3-D rose. I then used my copic markers to add depth and curled and distressed the petal edges with my fingernail. Yes, my fingernail-my favorite tool for distressing! I layered the rose pieces using regular adhesive as well as foam adhesive in certain spots. I also added a little distressing around the River Rock cardstock using my PTI tea dye duo-another favorite of mine! The beautiful patterned paper is Circa 1934 by Cosmo Cricket. Thanks for stopping by!
