up up and away!

good morning all! I trust I find you all well and happy? I'm feeling very slobby since my running partner rang to cancel my run - and I haven't gone out at all - this blogging takes up increasing amounts of time!!!!! Anyway - don't worry - I'll get over it!!!!!

Today I'd like to share a card with you I made last night using the sketch from over at the willow sketch challenge and one of the LOTV stamps I had for my birthday that hasn't been inked up yet.





I've used some free papers from a magazine and also some papers from the tim holtz distressed range. I've distressed them further with both distress inks and a distress tool. The bow is added as a bit of sparkle and shine.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
willowsketchiechallenge: sketch plus sparkle and shine
paperplaychallenges: flags, pennants and banners
jellyparkchallenges: waving
ready-teddy-gochallenge: Up up and away
liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge: a little bit distressed
bearlymine-challenges: Ribbons and bows.

Back tomorrow with another DT card!

Big hugs Rachel xx

    Very nice distressing Rachel! I think LOTV bear stamps are my all time favourites (at the moment anyway) and your card is just so sweet, I love that bear and great free papers too. Crafty hugs, Anne x
