Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Distressing

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I am slowly getting back to our normal routine after our holiday and have nearly finished all the washing! I had a little bit of crafting time at the weekend and made some Design Team cards and did some work on my commissions, just need to put the steps copy together before sending them off then I will be free to have a play! The theme for this week's Pollycraft Challenge chosen by the lovely Maria is .... Distressing. I don't do much distressing on my cards normally so it was great to do something a bit different this week. For my card, I used some My Mind's Eye papers from two different pads and some spotty paper which was in my scraps box.

I distressed the papers with my distressing tool and distress ink and I used this week's fabulous sketch from Sunday Sketch and stamp after spotting it on the very talented Donna's blog I just had to use it!


The sentiment is by Hero Arts and I used a Sonny Honeycloud image called 'My Way' I have never used before and printed her on textured card and coloured her in with Promarkers. I added some flowers from my stash and some string and a couple of little pearls. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge, you could choose 10 Digis from the Pollycraft Shop if you are this weeks lucky winner!



Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for all the details and some fabulous inspiration from the Design Team! Have a great Monday!
