FCD Presents – May Mayhem

So are you ready for this month’s blog hop? 

The challenge this month was to create something grungy & distressed. The more mayhem, the merrier. {cringe – not my style}

So I tried a couple things for this one and to me this just looks like a messy card and one that would get tossed in the garbage…

I used the Scatter Joy set and some Kaleidacolor Bouquet ink as well as Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye.

Yeah I am seriously thinking this is headed to the round file.

Take 2:

I used the Women In Character set to make a Cracked Glass piece but that technique and I aren’t always in sync and even though it cracked I had a hard time rubbing any ink into the lines to make them show up better.  Plus the fact that I had stamped the image with the Tattered Rose Distress Ink made it perhaps a little too light for this.  I just can’t seem to win here.  BUT I am 100% on for the challenge because the whole thing has me in a state of distress! (hey, it counts right?!?!?)

I made the card using some Basic Grey Porcelain paper and tearing some paper edges. Added a key and some dye stained lace and ribbon as well as a Prima flower.

 

{hmmmm I think I skipped grunge and distress and ended up in Vintage land somehow. }

The saying is from the Fall Quotes set and I thought fit here as she really looks like she is thinking of something.

ok so you know the drill we at FCD like to keep things simple there is no specific start place for our hops just go around the circle till you get back here and then you are done :)  Leave comments along the way because Pamela will pick one lucky person from one of our blogs to win the Blog Candy and announce it on her blog on Monday night (sometime after 8 PM Eastern Time) Next stop on the circle hop is Pamela’s!
