In(k) Distress!

OMGoodness!! Wednesday already!! i can't keep up with the days... it's another busy week for me... but when isn't it?!

new challenge over at TGF FFCB for Farm Fresh Friday... this week's challenge is to DISTRESS!! now that's something i need to learn how to do... and i don't just mean crafting... LOL... can you believe i've NEVER done any distressing on my creations before?! i love the effects of it, both just torn edges and ink distressing, but never tried it for myself... this challenge was a great push to "try" it....
and well, this is how my creation turned out... it was fun to roughen up the edges using the heart attack tool, but wow, when i decided to ink the edges as well, it got a little messy... told you i've never done this technique before... maybe a bit more practice and advice will do me justice!

anyway... i needed to make a birthday card for a party we are attending this weekend and used Oliver from TGF's OA Happy Day set to send the birthday boy some wishes... i apologize for the bad picture... the DP i used is really shimmery and i tried adjusting the exposure, but it wasn't working for me... if you enlarge the pix, you'll be able to see my attempt at distressing a little better... don't laugh ok, it's only my first time... LOL
here's the latest that's been happening in the craft room besides the card above... i had to finish packing up these Easter baskets for my kiddies and their cousins... thankfully i've succeed and now they are ready for Easter.... need to put together a few more Easter goodies for DD1's teacher, A+ leader and Kumu and i'm done!! Yay!!! wonder who's going to help me do that?

i'll be back tomorrow with another creation so until then.... have a beautiful Wednesday and thank you for dropping in!!! Smiles!

  4. You're working overtime as usual. Don't stress out about distressing. Your card turned out well. You'll find that distressing is an excellent way to hide flaws.
