Challenge 106 - Distress it

For challenge 106 we have the talented Lizzy Love from

Prize: 3 images from the store

Theme: Distress it

We were generously given an image to work with and I got "Veggie Veronica". As soon as I saw the image I knew what I wanted to do. I used Craftartist to find some orange paper and put some bats all over it then scored it using my hougie board, love this board for scoring and it's big enough to work off too. I made a little bag to hold some sweets and then made a tag to go on the front of it. The tag is cut with my Tonic art nouveau laying dies and attached with a tiny purple brad. The image was coloured using spectrum noir pens. The tag and the edges of the box were distressed with scissors and a nail file. The words around the edge say "There's nothing more distressing than exercise, so please pass the treats".

Now you've seen my interpretation of the theme hop over to the challenge and show us your distressed projects. It can be anything, have you distressed your drawers lately take a picture and show us.

Challenge 99 - Sketch by Ang

We are half way through our challenge at CWWCC. It is a wonderful sketch by Ang. At first look I thought it was going to be a difficult sketch but it isn't. I loved working with the sketch and will use it again in the future. I hope you have a go at using the sketch it will really suit any theme.

Our wonderful sponsor for challenge 99 is

Inky Impressions

Theme - Sketch by Ang

We were given images to use but I had one from an earlier challenge that I didn't manage to use. It is a pretty image called Fairy Sitting on Clothespin. I used my spectrum noir pencils to colour it and Tonic layering dies to cut the circle. The designer papers are from a K & Co paper pad and gold mirri card is from my stash.
