Karens Doodles 13th challenge


Oh dear, I'm running very late today! I'm absolutely snowed under with orders at the moment and my brain has turned to mush - apologies also if I've not managed to get around your blogs this week, I'll make up for it when things calm down. Right onto this week's challenge at Karen's Doodles UK - distressing... not my usual style but I do enjoy doing it occasionally. Oh, and before I forget there's a sale on at Karen's Doodles at the moment and she has a brand new fabulous store - go and have a look here.

I've used one of Karen's brilliant new male images, available in the store, coloured with promarkers. Papers are Basic Grey, with green coredinations and some brown cardstock from my stash - I've distressed all the edges with my scissors. The sentiment is from a Popcorn bear set, jute ribbon and button from stash, stars cut with nesties.

I'm also entering my card for the following challenges:
