I made this card today as I wanted to try a vintage look - first time I have ever distressed the papers! Think it looks ok though as it is not too torn - I love the tattered look on other peoples cards just not too sure on my own cards - think I am too much of a neat freak LOL!
I followed the sketch over at Crafty Sentiments which my lovely blogging friend is a DT member of (thanks Lisa Jane as I really loved this sketch)

I have used a Sarah Kay image and coloured her with distress inks (Frayed Burlap, Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans). I have used K & Co papers (Bailey) and flowers and ribbon from my stash!
I am entering this into the following challenges:
One Stitch at a Time - Recipe = 1 ribbon, 2 brads/eyelets, 2 papers
Cuttlebug Spot - Vintage
Cupcake - going green
Incy Wincy Designs - Green
Raise the Bar - Go green
The Pixie Cottage - Green
Fussy and Fancy - Green
Oh this is just beautiful Sarah, you have definitely captured the distressed look, especially the way you have colours the beautiful image. Great take on the sketch and hope you come back to Crafty Sentiments again soon. Hugs
