Hi everyone, happy Friday and here's my card for this week's Dare U 2 Digi Stamp challenge. This week we have a dare of distressing and some great inspiration from the design team so we hope you can join us. We also have a guest designer this week and for the month of August, the lovely Jen has agreed to join us and has made a beautiful card, so welcome Jen and we hope you enjoy your stint on the team. I've used my garden anemone image which will be available soon in the digi shop for this card and coloured it with markers and added some stickles to the centres of the flowers. I've distressed the edges with scissors and sponged all over with distress ink in old paper and a little touch of dried marigold then the edges with vintage photo. The card blank and matting layer is Apricot Bazzil card and the background paper I made by typing up the definition of anemone and printing out. I inked it all over with the same inks as before, screwed up into a ball, flattened out and then inked the surface lightly with vintage photo. The piece was then ironed flat again (seem to use my iron for craft more than for clothes, whoops!!) and distressed all the edges with scissors. I've finished off with a half pearl, lace edging tied in a bow and a yellow button sewn on with embroidery floss. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. TFL. Chris x
