Cuttlebug Challenge 16 - Distressing

Another great challenge from the Cuttlebug Blog we were supposed to make a card using distressing techniques (whatever we preferred) I used Artylicious CD Rom Damask Delights as back ground paper along. Took some coredinations card stock in a plum colour embossed it through the cuttlebug and sanded it down, Next I tore 3 circles of blue coredinations card stock embossed them through the cuttlebug. scrunched them up and then layered them into a rose shape. (technique i learned from Allison thanks Ali) tore a couple of leaves and added a button with some string tied through it. Then I used my new Tim Holtz Distress Stickles to outline the flower. Added a peel off greeting coloured in with a permanent marker.

Daring Cardmakers - Give it Some Heart

Had already made tons of Valentines but hadnt made one for my husband yet. Wait til you here what he did to me last year. He asked me to make myself a card, he said he couldnt buy one as nice as the ones I make (yeah right too lazy to go to the shop) So anyway I made myself a gorgeous card and charged him £20!!!!! Serves him right. Anyway here is his valentine for this year. The papers are from Jen Wilson i embossed some vellum and the heart through the cuttlebug. added some black gems and ribbon. Sentiment is from Penny Black. Hope he likes it (well actually after last year I dont really care if he likes it LOL!!!)
