DZ Doodles Challenge #3

Here we are going into the 3rd challenge with DZ Doodles! This week the design team was challenged to use the distressing technique on their cards/projects! The Ladies came out with beautiful cards that you can view on the DZ Doodles Blog >>> HERE!

Here is the card that I made with this challenge! I used my distress tool from Close to my Heart to get the effect on the pink cardstock and then I used my brown ink to distress the patterned paper. The image that I used was named after ME! Her name is "Valerie Fairy" and if you love her just as much as I do you can purchase her at the DZ Doodles Store >>> HERE!

I hope you have a great day and hope to see you join in on this fun challenge over at DZ Doodles! Don't forget you still have time to enter the "Bunny Hop Contest".
