I made this card using a cardabilities sketch and am submitting it for this weeks Kraftin Kimmie Challenge (Distressing).
I stamped little Red in memento ink onto choice snowhite and cut the image out using a nestie die. I then stamped her a few more times onto different dp's and paper-pieced her clothes. I stamped her again onto CS and coloured her with copics and spicas. I didn't want her face and hands to seem sunken, so thats why I added those parts again to the very top. All the layers are exremely distressed, lol!! I love distrssing, so I was happy to do it again on this challenge. I get so carried away that I generally tear my dp almost right in half (but i don't even worry about it- just cover it with another panel and it;s fixed!! No problem if there is a rip mark- just adds to the distressed effect. Crooked panel- No worries!! Uneven, crooked stitching- Again, NO worries!! Maybe thats why I love distressing soooo much. Leaves alot of room for error;) I also sewed around the edges of all the panels with a straight stitch. The sentiment is stamped and punched with SU oval punches. I added a rolled rose die from MFT, distressed the edges and jammed some crochet ribbon in the center. I'm never happy with the way my rolled flowers turn out, so I think I am going to have to find a video on you tube or something that show's me how to do it properly. The sketch didn't call for a ribbon, but I thought that it needed something in the middle. I am totally in love with SU's crochet ribbon!! I have never used these little hat pins before, but I thought that with the distressing, sewing, crochet ribbon and colour scheme that this card had a vintage feel and pins would suit it. I'm really happy with the way they added the finishing touch to the card.
Thanks for looking:)
