Hope your day is Just Peachy

Good morning campers! Today's card is for this month's Creatalicious Challenge, which is:

Something old

Something new

Something torn

Something blue

My something torn and something blue are obvious; my something old is the retired SU designer papers and my something new is my Peachy Tilda stamp. Here's my entry:

Created by Kez

When I was deciding what to do with this card, I thought "well, if I've gotta tear something then I might as well go the whole hog and distress as well", so that's what I did! The peach background paper is distressed using my sanding block and I also used the sanding block on the torn piece, as well as sponging and curling. The brown flowers are aged a little by being sponged with white and I punched the leaves from DSP which already has a worn look to it, then added some sponging and veins. Here's the inside of the card:

It was lovely to use these Afternoon Tea papers again; they were my favourite from last year. Thanks for stopping by!

Creatalicious Challenge

The challenge this month at Creatalicious is to use pink or plum with burgundy and green, and also to incorporate some lace, ribbon or fibre. To me, these colours are very pretty and feminine, so I've tried to create a card that reflects that. I've used a real mixture of stamps, papers etc on this one:
