For this mini VSN challenge we had to make a card that was distressed in some way. I combined a couple of distressing techniques. I finally tore into my new in-color and DSP. The edges were roughed up w/ a distressing tool and I sanded the edges of the DSP. I ran the ink pad along the white ribbon to give it a worn look.

I LOVE the different distressing methods on this card! The background is my favorite part with the two triangles of dp. Very clever to run the ribbon across the stamp pad to make it look old. Great job on this challenge!

Wow! I never think to distress the ribbon! Love it! The colors and paper are yummy.

Dude, I love this! I especially love how you pulled your ribbon through the little buckle, and I love how you placed your photo corner over the top of that. Very clever. The effects of your distressing add such an amazing warmth to the whole thing. Great job!
