Sketch Saturday #764 Optional Twist: Something Distressed

Hi Crafty Friends,
Here's our next Sketch Saturday Challenge.  For Sketch #764, the optional twist is to distress something.
Distressing isn't really my crafty style but I found these older Bo Bunny papers that have a completely distressed look so I went with the.  I like the idea of the non-traditional holiday colors as well.

The sentiment is a stamp from Whimsy Stamps Merry Christmas Sentiments.

Here's the sketch for your guidance.

I look forward to seeing what you create.  Just link your project HERE.

Cut it Up Challenge #317 ~ Favorite Color(s)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Our theme for Cut it Up Challenge #317 is FAVORITE COLOR(S).

I really gravitate towards a green/purple color combination.  I never got to wear purple/lavender when I was young since my mom really disliked that color.  I remember my first independent act as a young adult was to purchase a completely purple ensemble - suit, scarf, shoes, handbag.  I was such a rebel - LOL!

Here's my card using the "A Friend Like You Bouquet" Betterpress plate and Copic Markers.

 I added a butterfly from Pinkfresh Studio's Fluttering Butterfly die/washi tape collection.  I also used Jaded Blossom's Rectangle dies to give the mat a little more dimension.

I hope you'll play along with us HERE.

Here's the sketch.

Can't wait to see what your create.
