Howdy all you book-lovin' stampers!!!! This is my very first time Hostessing in a VSN and I am soooooooooo psyched!!!!! Thank you all so much for joining in!!!!
When I'm asked for my favorite book, it's an automatic response..........To Kill A Mockingbird!!! My most favorite book in THE entire world!! And it has been since the very first time I read it when I was 12. So many life lessons, it really is an amazing book which I re-read often!!
The time period is set in the Depression.........those were rough times for most folks. Sooooo........to tie in this wonderful novel with a stamping challenge.........my challenge is for you to make a Distressed Card!! There are so many ways to add a distressed look to a card......roughing up the edges, using a sponge and ink, using distress ink, etc. Let your imagination run wild!
For my sample, I used Alcohol Inks and Glossy paper and the "roughing-the-edges" techniques. I just love Western and Horse stamps for this look!!
Now.........go have fun and don't "STRESS" over this DISTRESSING Challenge!!!! ;)
** You have 45 minutes to complete this challenge **

Off to stamp!
Oh how fun........got the place to yourself!! Can't wait to see what you make!!!!
Just to clarify for anyone (who might be interested in hosting a VSN!!), the hostesses get to test drive the challenges, that's how we get to upload pretty quickly. We hold ourselves to the same time limits but just get started early so we can work out kinks for the challenge hostess. It's definitely a bennie!
