Hi Folks
Hope you are all well. Only a couple more days and then it will be the weekend, yay.
I must admit I had a wonderful surprise yesterday. My lovely hubby bought me a new car. I know my old car is getting a bit old and worn out but had no idea hubby was planning on replacing it. I have seen a picture of the new car and it looks lovely so I am sure I will love it. Feeling very loved and blessed at the moment.
Anyway, enough of my rambling and onto crafty matters. I am here to share a little mid month inspiration for our current challenge over at the Crafting Musketeers. Our theme for this month is:
Grunge
and we are sponsored by the fabulous Visible Image who are offering a lovely prize for the winner.
Here is my project which I found very difficult to do for some reason. Sometimes I just can't get a feel for a project and this was just one of those times.
The papers are from the chronology paper pad by Papermania. I distressed all the edges and added some distress ink to give an aged look. The large topper is from Kanban and has been in my stash box for a number of months. This was given the same distressed look as the papers. I added some metal corners which had some white acrylic paint dabbed on to give a more aged look. I also added various other little labels that were in my stash box and also some washi tape across the centre. Finally, I went over the whole card dabbing some ink splodges.
Thanks for popping by and would love to see you enter the challenge. Just pop over to the Crafting Musketeers challenge blog to submit your entry. You will also find lots more inspiration from the talented design team.
