Distressed......Oh yes....totally!

Hello Everyone, 
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

The image is Plantpot Kitty from Di's Digi Stamps. I've coloured this little cutie with promarkers and flexmarkers. The background papers are from First Edition - Daydream.

I've used a Die Namics Plentiful Petals die, a Marianne Creatables Ivy die and a Memory Box Pipi Butterfly die. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.
