Ok. I hope this qualifies as distressed. I tried sponging the sides with some chocolate chip and close to cocoa and it just didn't work with this card. I'm a "beginner" at sponge distressing. Definitely need to go watch more tutorial videos over on youtube...
So, I resorted to old-fashioned distessing: me and my scissors. I scissor distressed the edges of all the panels and I did sponge some More Mustard around the perimeter of the card and lightly rubbed it over the distressed edges of the panel.
I added an Aqua Mist ribbon for a little pop of color and some pearls to add to the "antique-y" look of the card. Overall? Not too bad... though I have learned that I need to work on new distressing techniques. It's just not something I use a whole lot.
Thanks for another great challenge, Amber!

Hey, well done! Great pop of colour with the ribbon. I'm with you on the sponging side of things. Think mine will be the edge distressing as well.

This is just beautiful! I love the colors you chose and your distressing is amazing, considering you used a pair of scissors! That splash of aqua mist ribbon is the perfect accent for this gorgeous card!
