DARING CARD MAKERS - DISTRESSED (2)

Has my mojo come back???

This morning when I got back from taking the kids to school I was determined to 'make' something. So.... Yesterday when I was sorting through my stuff I found one of the Flower Fairies decoupage images from ages ago that I had started to cut out, but the decoupage bits were no where to be found. So, all I had left was the main image.



So with the Daring Card Makers dare from Friday still in mind - I got an idea to use the little image.



The papers are by Papermania and I distressed them using the blade of my scissors with a little bit of tearing for good measure. I also edged the papers with a gold ink pad and a pale brown. I deliberately didn't stick everything down perfect as I wanted it to look rough. I am quite pleased with the result - as these colours I would normally stay away from - I just don't do yellow or orange!!.

Over at http://sewdelish.blogspot.com she set this little challenge - and I think this card is right for it.

For my Stepping Out Challenge you need to create a post with something you have made (it can be any type of project) different to what you would normally choose. Only you know what you really like, so choose something totally the opposite. Link to this post and make a comment here with your link for everyone to find. I will arrange for a small blog candy prize for the winner so make sure I am able to contact you. I will announce the winner on the 15th May 08 so that you have plenty of time to get creating.
