Lawnscaping Distress Addicts Challenge

Hello again!!
I'm stopping in to share another card I made for the Distress Addicts challenge for Lawnscaping.
I had already made a card for this challenge but wanted to make one that had a more all around distressy look, if that makes any sense. So I  created this one.



I started off with some crumb cake cardstock as my card base, then used some sticky back canvas to do my stamping on. I haven't used this stuff forever but thought it would be perfect for this look. So you can cut out a perfect shape of this stuff if you prefer but I like to make just a little cut with my scissors and then tear the rest by hand to get that sort frayed look around the edges of the canvas. I stamped directly on the canvas and colored in with Copics. I had to sort of pounce my marker to color the images so blending more than one color wasn't really an option on this sort of material.
I took my scissors to fray the edges around the card and sponged on some Frayed Burlap Distress ink around the edges of both the canvas and the paper to finish the distressy look.


Thanks for stopping by to see my card!
