Distressing Saturday

My favourite challenge is on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, OK I'm being sarcastic but if you read my blog regularly you will know how much I love distressing but I don't give up easily. Out came my Tim Holtz distressing tool, each page of Cosmo Cricket was inked to death, even the doily border wasn't left out.
You have to have distressed flowers and this time I made some distressing leaves! The sheet of Cosmo Cricket rulers was on my desk and the turquoise one caught my eye and thought it would be the finishing touch.
The cute couple are Secret Crafter very own range of manga stamps, they work really well together.
There's something missing on my card but its far too busy to add it.
It's very odd but I've packed to got to the All day Card Making day in Bristol and all I've got is my tool bag and a bag with a 12 by 12 plastic box in, I usually pack the kitchen sink. I've even taken stuff out of my tool bag cos the things were not on my list I was given, hope I don't regret it.
