DISTRESSED AT IN THE PINK!

Hi lovely peeps - here is a card which makes me think of Summer days - none of the white fluffy stuff here!
It's time to join us at the In The Pink Challenge again, and we would like to see
DISTRESSING (and LOTS of pink)!  
This could be Distress Inks, torn edges, sanding etc. If you are using Distress Inks, please tell us which colours you have used.
*******************
I have used a beautiful Mo Manning Cling Stamp from Penny Black - part of my wonderful candy from Debby in her "Favourite 5 Cards of 2012" challenge.
The spotty paper is from a MME paper pad - The Sweetest Thing - also part
of my candy prize. (Thanks Debby)!



I used Distress Inks to paint the image - mainly Victorian Velvet, Fired Brick, Crushed Olive, Antique Linen, Tea Die, and Vintage Photo.
Edges of oval die-cut inked with Victorian Velvet and an Inkssentials  Applicator.
***********
The pink card is Core'Dinations Primrose Petals (from SU), distressed with a sander. 
Edges of the top two layers distressed with scissors. 
Corner brackets - Cuttlebug die.
Elegant Butterfly punch - SU.
Tag punch - Hobby-Craft
Sentiment - Penny Black.
Stitching - my machine!
I am entering the "New Goodies" challenge at That Craft Place.
(New goodies -  stamp, spotty paper, oval die).
Love to all ~

Beautifully distressed Sylvia, I love the sanded coredination card and the way you have distressed all the elements without grunging it up but keeping a vey fresh and vibrant feel to the whole card. Love it.

Hi Sylvia ! Love your gorgeous distressed pink creation. I love your layers, the little die cut with the sentiment. Your colouring with Distress Inks is fabulous. Wonderful theme for 'In the Pink'!

I have so many mediums to work with and love them all, some more than others, but if I was allowed only one it would be Distress Inks. You can do so much with them and there is such a great range of colours now. Have a fabulous day, Shirleyxx

Hi Sylvia

Your card is beautiful... I love the way you have distressed it by sanding the core'dinations... really gives it a chic aged look... and your colouring with DI's is superb.. I haven't tried yet.. I really need to get myself into gear and give it a go as the inks are sitting waiting!
Big hugs

Hi Sylvia, Love the card, what amazing colouring. I am not very good with Distressed inks, I think I need to practice lots :0
I love the distressing too.
Sorry late in commenting, my days have skipped by this week. Will try and visit some of the fab entries though, as I like to fit in a few if time permits.
Huge Hugs Mau xx
