TLC379 ~ Distressed Edges ~ (5/28/12)

[StampingQueenJAR]

I know that many of you in the U.S. may be busy today with Memorial Day observances and family celebrations, so I have a very quick and easy technique challenge, and one that probably isn't new to very many of you. But I still love the look!

The challenge is to DISTRESS YOUR EDGES. You can see Beate's great tutorial HERE. Bonus points (just an extra pat on your back) if you also use Distress Ink to distress your edges.

My sample: MANY TANKS uses both distress ink and a distressing tool.

And in three weeks, when it's my turn again, our technique will be a little more time consuming but still very fun! We will be recycling something!

~Enjoy your day~

Oh fun! I don't often distress things but love the look!!! Hope to play along after work tomorrow!
Happy Memorial Day to you!

[bensarmom]

Looks like fun. I'm going to see what I can distress! Here's my card.

[joan ervin]

What a fun challenge, Judy...I love to distress the edges on my cards!!! I'm off to the craft room to distress and destress...LOL!!!

[angelladcrockett]

Thanks for the fun challenge (and early post), Judy! Since I get the 'heebie jeebies' when I use my distressing tool, I distressed with ink instead....hope the challenge police don't come after me!!! HUGS!!

Bless you Judy for this sweet and simple challenge. Here is my How Much Love card.

[Cook22]

Grin, it would almost be more of a challenge for me NOT to distress mine. Last forecast day of wonderful sunshine here, but I hope to come along with something at some stage in the day.

Fun and easy challenge, Judy. Distressing is something I use quite a bit to add texture and interest. Happy Memorial Day.

I'm joining the few others who used ink-only to distress. I'll hide out 'til the challenge police give up looking for me. ;)

Here's my Raising Dust card.

Didn't get a chance to check out the TLC yesterday, but when I looked today I realized the card I'd just finished for class this week fit the bill...inked edges and all (lol) Will try to comment on the gallery cards later. TFL

Here is mine. Better late than never! I distressed the whole thing and also used this card for the FS challenge (FS277).

I have a lot of cards I could add here - I made a card in honor of Queen for the Day Sue, and hers was for this technique - and so is mine:
