Today we were to make a distress before we stress kind of card. I actually started this card yesterday for the WT challenge where we could not use red, yellow or orange.
After choosing my colors and design I put embossing paste on my eb shape and waited for it to dry. The jar said about 1 hour. NOT....took all night and half a day.
So while waiting, I browsed our new QFTD's gallery and chose this card to loosely case. I chose Audrey Ann's card for the mere fact that she dry embossed her lovely trees. I just added the eb paste.
To distress my yesterday card, after sponging color around the pitcher, I used a Tim Holtz distressing tool. I also did some faux stitching and crumpling on the edges.
Oh, before I put on the eb paste, I masked and colored the pitcher using my home made plaid maker. Added the faux button I found on my desk.
Well, that all said, Audrey enjoy your reign as our new Queen. Thanks ladies for the fun challenges. Hope everyone has a splendid weekend! TFL :0)

I'm going to join the others in saying I've never used embossing paste or have even heard of it, but love the effect you achieved on your pitcher, Cathy! Another fabulous creation!

I love the effect of your home made plaid maker - wow, how beautiful! All that waiting time was well worth it, this is vibrant, creative and so very pretty, Cathy! You pitcher (or jug as they'd call is here) is beautiful!
