A Gem of a Challenge - Distress It


It's time for another new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge and this time our theme is 'distress it'.  Not an easy one for me I have to admit as I do like my cards to be neat and tidy!  You can find all the details about the challenge and see the cards from the rest of the Design Team here on the challenge blog.

For my card I've used the new 'Chloe With Balloon' digi stamp which is here on the Pink Gem website.  I also used the 'Wall' digi stamp which you can find here and then merged the two in Word.  I used a tearing ruler (I told you I like neat cards!) round the edge of the image and panel and the pink paper and then added some brown ink.  The heart is a Memory Box die and I've added some pearls and Card Candi to finish.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Paper Crafting Journey - 'use a sentiment'
I Love Promarkers - 'pastel colours'
Addicted to Stamps and More - 'anything goes'
Digital Tuesday Challenge - 'spring time'
The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge - 'happy, happy birthday'
Paper Pretties Challenge - 'happy birthday'
Paper Makeup Stamps Challenge Blog - 'girly'
QKR Stampede - 'punches and/or dies'
