Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge week 31

So my exciting news is ...

I was chosen to be the new DT member of the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge!!!! I am really honoured to be chosen as I love the challenge and have played along from the start, and the other DT members are so talented.

So this is my first week as a member of the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. Mandy has set the challenge and it to use eyelets or brads on your card. I love both so used both on mine. I watercoloured the image in a distressed it with a distressing tool and brown ink. I matted it up and again distressed the dp. In fact I went to town and distressed and inked everything! I set eyelets in some of the dp corners and added brads to another corner and a couple of corners of the image. Finally I added a Basic Grey rub on. I must get some more of these.

Its a great challenge and I can't wait to see what you come up with, and do take a peek at how the other DT members made their cards.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Ska8er Boy
Colouring Media: Distress ink
Papers: Basic Grey Archiac
Embellishments: Basic Grey Archiac rub-on, brads and eyelets from stash
