I wanted to make a card for the challenge of "Worn, Torn and Distressed" which for me was a real challenge. I find that my cards are often clean with many layers so to make a card look "dirty" was a task for me I tell ya...
I pulled my inspiration for the Basic Grey Cappella line and then combined it with DP from October Afternoon and Bella Boulevard. Two of the DP's have been dry embossed with Cuttlebug folders and then sponged over (making it dirty... oh the horrors) with inks to match. I;ve distressed the edges of many of the layers and sponged those as well. The image has been watercolored with my Tombow Markers (my go to marker... I heart my markers). I decided to keep the image "clean" to bring out the beauty of the buttercup.
