Distressing at Creative Inspiration

Hello lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are both well and happy. We had a lovely day yesterday with good weather and a end of year play/assembly that was really fabulous. The end of term really is in sight .. the girls finish on Thursday and we are all ready for a break! Roll on!!!

Today I have news of a new challenge for you over at creative inspirations. The challenge this week is all about distressing. Here's what I did.


I made the background using a variety of green distressing inks - including bundled sage, mowed lawn, evergreen bough and pine needles - and a variety of stencils from Mr Holtz.


The main stamp is from Crafty Individuals. I love this little stamp - expect to see that often in the future! 

So why not join us this week? We would love to see all your creations with a distressed look!


This week's prize is from STAMP & CREATE and is a $20 GIFT CERTIFICATE!


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

allsortschallenge: Splish splash splosh
Pan pastelpanpasteluk: Inspired by Tim Holtz
thats craftythatscraftychallenges: Masks, stencils, templates
CVCcountryviewchallenges: Stencil it

Hope to see you soon and thanks for joining me today!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    Hi Rachel, what a lovely stamp and sentiment, it's not often you see words like that and there are often times when you need to thank someone for looking out for you. Hope the last day of term goes well tomorrow and happy holidays to you all :)
