Distress It

The optional twist this week at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, is "Distress It"! Our sponsor this month is Through the Craft Room Door.

I may have overdone it with "distress", but I distressed the papers and even wrinkled and curled up the purple paper. I used Distress Inks to color the flower (Stampin' Up). The butterfly is from Heartfelt creations, I added Distress Inks to some butterfly ribbon I had and a bit of copper glitter around the edges of the card.

Hello Snowman Sketch with Distress Edges

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #132 offered a sketch and an optional twist to do distressing to the edges. I chose to do both. This sweet little snowman is called "Hello Snowman", and a perfect image for just a hello (especially good for a knitting friend, which I have several!).
I used Polychromos colored pencils for the color, and added some Wink of Stella to the snowman. The sentiment, which comes in this set, and the blue heart were popped up on foam tape. The edges of the circle and sentiment were distressed and I added some Broken China Distress Inks to the edges.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments. I'd also like to wish, to all of your who celebrate, a very Merry Christmas!
