I'm a bit latchy with this post, can't seem to get out of the bit at the moment.
Yesterday saw a new challenge launched over at Crafty Cardmakers and More. Lin is our hostess and she has chosen the theme DISTRESS IT.
Now I have to say, I'm not really a distressed type of girl, I like clean, simple lines! Lol! However, I do have some Tim Holtz stuff and to me he is the King of Distress!
I cut a circle from corrugated card and tore off some of the top layer (this is a technique favoured by my lovely blogging friend Valerie). I painted the card with some off white paint from one of the many paint testers I have lying around the house. (I am determined to get my living room freshened up before Christmas!)
The "25" and reindeer are Tim Holtz dies, painted with red stickles and glossy crackle accents respectively. The star was cut from gold miri, distressed with sandpaper. I added some more painted card for the snowy hills, topped with stickles and the wire berries and sequin ribbon were from my stash.

Okay, that's me for today.
Thanks a lot for popping in.
