I thought I'd have another go at 'distressing' today, and I am well and truly distressed!! I wanted to have a go with frantage.....so I tried...not so sure I got it right - it went all over the place! Then I thought I might as well have a go at the edges and used a distressing tool- gave up with the cheese grater, my poor fingers couldn't take anymore so I bought a Tim Holtz distressing tool! I need to lie down in a dark room!! I was going to stitch around the edges too, but the thought of getting out the old sewing machine just filled me dread so I used a cool grey 5 promarker and a ruler!!lol

I went to see The Hobbit at the cinema a few evenings ago. A brilliant film but I came home with a migraine. I haven't spent much time on the computer or doing anything else for that matter, so I'll be catching up with you over the next few days.
Thanks for taking the time to visit me today and for all your lovely comments. Have a lovely weekend.

Stunning card as always, I love your stitching. I hate the thought of getting out the sewing machine to go round a card. Your pen effect is brilliant.
Great image and wonderful design

Fabulous card Lorraine. Your adventures with the cheese grater made me chuckle...poor lamb. And that is why you seldom see distressing on my blog even though I love it :) Have a good weekend. Pat k x

This is gorgous Lorraine and I think your distressing is perfect. When I tried it I used an emery board which seems to work fine (and is much cheaper!!) I love the image and your colouring xx
Gorgeous card Lorraine, adorable image and the stressing looks fab sorry l meant distressing lol x Susan x
What a cutie Lorraine! Your distressing looks fab and you have coloured the gorgeous image to perfection! X
Aaah what an absolute sweetie and am loving all your distressing and your Tim Holtz tool, will be so worth the money, and you will wish you had bought one sooner.
I hope your migraine improves, mine have so improved in the last couple of months, since i have been to an accupuncturist - mind you it's not been cheap, but i've gone from 7/8 a month to 3, it turned out it was my hormones, Luv Sam x
This is fab. Love it
Hugs Kelly
Your card is stunning Lorraine. I love the sweet image, beautiful colouring and gorgeous detailing too.
Sorry to hear about your migraine, that's no fun at all. I hope you are feeling better now.

This is a gorgeous card Lorraine, you made a fabulous job of the distressing, even if it did leave you rather distressed as well - such an adorable image.

Such a cute image, love your colouring.
Hi Lorraine, hope the migrain has gone by now, nasty things.
Your card is so lovely, sweet image and colours are fab.
When I use frantage I always wonder why I bothered, I've not yet got the hange of it, hugs Kate x
Lol... I feel that way about distressing too - usually use scissors (although I don't distress very often), but I've just ordered a Stampin' Up tool so we'll see if that's easier! And yes, Frantage is very messy... looks fab though!
Your card is gorgeous. Love that sweet image and your fabby colouring :o) Hugs, Lisa x
ooooooooooo love the image the faux stitching and all of that gorgeous frantage just beautiful

Oh Lorraine your post made me smile I could just picture you lying in a darkened room trying to de-stress, lol, I think we have all been there at some point. Lorraine that frantage looks fantastic, I have been tempted to try it but I have to save a little first. That image as well as the wonderful die cuts all look amazing.
