Thanks for stopping by today to view my sample for the weekly
Our Creative Corner challenge. We have a relaxing challenge for you this week. At least we hope you will be relaxed when you finish your project for our challenge. Our host, Sarah Gough, challenged us to
De-stress by Distressing our card that we made following the OCC sketch. You know, I almost always scissor distress my edges, right? Do you believe I didn't do that for this challenge? Yikes, I was so into the sketch that I forgot all about the distressing requirement. Fortunately I always ink distress my edges so that allowed the card to meet the challenge requirements. I almost ripped it apart and started on it with my scissors, but my team mates weighed in and nixed that. So here is my very gently distressed card.
I saw the previews of this new
Button Boutique stamp set by Papertrey Inc. and absolutely had to have it. The website said it was being released on February 15th, so I checked the site at 12:00 a.m. on the 15th and sure enough it was there for purchase. So I splurged and bought the stamp set and three coordinating dies. I think I will be able to get quite a bit of use out of this sweet vintage set.
The Dets:
Paper: Very Vanilla, MME Bella Bella and polka dot by Pink Petticoat, adjusted the color in PhotoShop Elements so it coordinated with the MME paper. The coordinating solid colored mat was created on PhotoShop Elements also to match the MME paper.
Stamps:
Button Boutique and
Birthday Basics from Papertrey Ink
Ink: Blue Bayou, Antique Linen distress ink
Accessories: Creative Memories corner rounder, lace doily cut with a Spellbinders' Scallop die, lace, ribbon and chipboard buttons made with Papertrey dies
Buttoned Up 1 & 2 (scroll down to the bottomof the page)
That's it on the details. Let me know if you have any questions. Love hearing from you all and thank you so so much for continuing to support me. I hope to see your beautiful distressed card following our sketch over on the
challenge blog this week!

Linda this is gorgeous, love all the texture, just a beauty!
Lovely, Linda! This is so soft and calming! Love your ruffled button embellishment. And I was thinking the center piece was all one but now I see it's lace and doily. Lovely! And I love the little HB at the bottom.
This is so lovely! How perfect!
How beautiful, Linda - your vintage card is gorgeous! The lace and doily are so pretty with your PTI button card. It all works really well together!

That button card is a STAMP?? Holy crap, I thought it was the real deal. Awesome...Love your card, the whites with a hint of color is great, love it!
Linda, this is just beautiful!!
I just ordered a die that cuts out little button packets (or whatever they are called) from Papertrey Ink and a button die to go with it. They are very popular right now.

Thanks for visiting me and the kind words...can't believe the linky was wrong (forehead just hit the table... I thought I was going mad in my old age). What a night shift and then having to blog it all! Didn't make it to church today - needed a lie-in! Still, a deadline can do you good and now I have my Sunday to start on something new.
Thanks for all the inspiration, lovely work and fab blog.
