Before I saw today's sketch challenge I had decided to crumple an old book page and distress it for a card. As soon as I saw the challenge, I jumped into action! I distressed the book page by crumpling it and then sponging the edges and the entire crumpled page with a combo of soft suede, chocolate chip and early espresso ink. I adhered it to the crumb cake cs using tombow mono multi glue so that I would not flatten out the crumpled page. I stamped images using chocolate chip ink onto the pink pirouette cs. I then cut a piece of ribbon and pulled some of the threads to give it a worn look and then sewed it to the layer with my sewing machine. I stamped the brad with an image from the Artistic Etchings stamp set using black staz-on ink. The "amour" was stamped in Early Espresso onto the matchbox die label and then I distressed and sponged the label and added a small pearl. I hope you like it!
