Good day everyone! I'd like to share a card with you that I created for a recent swap I was in. It was a fun one to make and I kind of like how it turned out.
What I did for the distressing was take a piece of Always Artichoke cardstock and distressed the edges of it with the distressing tool on the Cutter Kit. Then I spritzed it with rubbing alcohol to relax the fibers in the paper. I crumpled it up, uncrumpled it and then did it again. While it was still damp, I curled the corners, just 'cause I liked the look.
Next, to get the aged coloring on the Very Vanilla cardstocks and DSP, I sponged in So Saffron, then in Chocolate Chip.
Now for the details on product. All materials and stamps are from Stampin' Up!
