Ive been tagged/Basic Grey Challenge - Distressed

Good morning and yes, I have actually managed to get another card done. Thank you for all those who left comments wishing my son a happy birthday and a nice evening. We all went for the birthday meal, which is the first time we've been out altogether since Jamies birthday in May! I love these family times and wished they were more frequent. Alas my boys now prefer to spend time with their girlfriends, than their younger brother and sister and parents. Yes, I am told this is perfectly normal, but hard nevertheless. The only upside to them needing me less is that I get a little more time to craft, this is such a treasured luxury! So this is what i've been up to since I posted yesterday.

BASIC GREY CHALLENGE- GET DISTRESSED
This is my entry into this weeks basic grey challenge. I used the papers from the Perhaps range, ripped and torn and the edges inked with brilliance inks. I have used the gorgeous Whiff Of Joy Image and coloured with my copics. The sentiment was printed on my computer. The beads were froms tock and the lace was from a local haberdashery shop. Small silk rose buds can't remember where they came from but paper flower prima of course. This was quite a hard challenge for me as I don't usually do the distressed look, at least not in my cards!!
