Distressed Magnolia

I love a bit of distressing, and on the Just Magnolia blog they have a distressing challenge. This has been a labour of love for me, and lots of playing with new techniques. I made my own background and have added very little dp to this - all distressed.
Here's my card ...
And a close up of the corner ...


This is how I did it .
I used Antique Lineen and distress some cream, lightly hammered cardstock.

Then I put mt Glimmer Mist screen in the corner...
and went over the cardstock and screen with Tattered Rose ink.

So it now looks like this ...

Then I sprayed Old Lace glimmer mist over the cardstock and screen and let it dry.

I added my design paper and then using a larger screen inked part of it up, and made the decorate bottom right corner.

Here's a close up. As the screen is plastic the distress ink does have a tendency to dapple, but I think that makes it look distressed and cracked.
Then I added lace, my image and flowers.

The biggest challenge for me has been letting each step dry before doing the next.

I don't think my glimmer mists are liking the heat - they are quite splodgy at the mo. Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
