I got in a bit of a tizz as those who know me will know that distressing isn't my thing. Still, I had a go!
I used this weeks fab sketch from the Pink Elephant and picked my images from Bee Crafty as Flutterby Wednesday want to see angels. Digital Tuesday asked us to use things with wings and Passion for ProMarkers set out a gorgeous colour combo perfect for Christmas cards. They also have a brilliant weekend workshop on shading on their blog too - have a look.
I used papers from DCWV and although they were already a bit distressed in the pattern, I added a little more fluid chalk ink around the edges, I also braved it and sponged some around the image AFTER I'd shaded it so it could have gone horribly wrong! I made the matching brads using a Papermania brad kit and that's my card.
The clocks going back meant nothing to Zac (my 22 month old) who has been awake since 4.15am (3.15) and eventually got me up at 5.15 (4.15)? I don't know it's too confusing. I tried grabbing a nap on the sofa which only resulted in him climbing on me, digging elbows and knees in various parts of my anatomy and rendering any chance of sleep a thing of yesterday. Little monkey.

I love this sketch, I've used it a couple of times and have liked both attempts. Your distressing is ace. I like the brads very much, I must investigate that kit. Looking at your cards often costs me money as I realise I need to have stuff that you have used!!

I think your card turned out beautifully. I am so sorry to hear about your Cuttlebug. As for the distressing on your card...great job! I am in the process of making a card for MDU..and it calls for distressing! Not my thing either, but at least you gave it a go!
