Heating ribbon is my favourite way to distress it, I hope it counts.
I took yesterday's sketch and exploded it out a bit - I'd thought it would work well with these small PB images, but when I was messing around with the layout I liked the blank space on the right so I went with a square card.
5 3/4" square base. Papers are Basic Grey, I think a couple are Wassail. After layering the neutral on the red base and adding the strips I stitched round the edge.
Penny Black image and sentiment stamped on watercolour paper with Versasfine Black and coloured with distress inks, plus a gold H2O for the shades, collar tag and brass.
I added a little organza bow which I heated and attached with a brad.
It's been a bleah day, so I'm not sure how I feel about this card .
