Love On A Distressing Sunday!

It's Sunday again! 
How time flies when you're having fun!

Hardly seems like any time since I was sitting on the sofa on 
Friday evening looking forward to the rest of the weekend! 

We had a great day yesterday, out & about seeing more of the
Edinburgh Festival & Fringe see my previous post for a couple of pics if you're interested!

This week at The Crafty Pad, we have a new challenge!
Challenge #136 is Distressing/Tearing!
Here's my card!


We're sponsored this week by the wonderful Crafty Emma's store


They are offering a fab prize of a £10 voucher 
(I must stress this does not include P&P)


I used the Ted's In Love image from The Crafty pad Designs.
I printed it onto Core'dinations  cards & tore roughly around the heart 
outline, I then inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress inks.
My base card was made from brown card stock. 
The papers are from my stash, sorry I can't remember who they're by.
I added a heart shaped paper doily which I scrunched up then inked with the sameTim Holtz Distress inks
I also added some little self adhesive pearls to lady ted to highlight her necklace!



I added some roses from Sweetpea Polly's Crafty Things, Punched butterflies (Martha Stewart punch) & ornate corners( sizzlits die), all of which recieved the distress ink treatment.
I also added some pearls to the butterflies



I added a computer generated sentiment in '1942 Report' Font which you can download free here.
That was then inked with the distress inks too!



I decorated the inside of the card to match!
I do hope you like it!
It's already winging it's way to the happy couple!
I made this card with the following challenges in mind
Cuddly Buddly Say Something Nice
Just Add Ink Something From Stash
Paper Shelter Challenge Diecuts/Punches
Color Throwdown Color challenge
Flutterby Wednesdays Must include a butterfly or fairy Open
I Brake For Challenges Shabby Chic
