"Distressed Much?" CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  

This month there are 10 of us highlighting the “Distressed Much?” Technique!  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  

If you get lost along the way Melissa has a complete list of hop.

If you are coming from Valerie's Blog, you are on the right track! 

I have a layout that I created using this technique.  I hope you enjoy it.

There are so many ways that you can Distress and I have used a few different ways.

I have ripped a portion at the top of this page and that is 1 way to add a distressed look. 

I distressed most of the paper using Espresso ink along the edges.  I love the look this gives a project.  The only paper I didn't distress with ink was the French Vanilla cardstock and the Espresso dot paper 1/2 " strips.

I used my scissor edge to distress the 1/2 " espresso dot paper.

Supplies used:

Z2829 Espresso Ink Pad

X7254F Yesterday & Today Vellum Die-Cuts

X7254S Yesterday & Today Paper Packet & Sticker Sheet

X7254C Yesterday & Today Coordinating Cardstock

Gold Glitter Gems
