Circle the Globe ...

Is it winter - it feels like it - cold, wet, dull, and having to put loads of layers on!  Horrible.  That's my moan over about the weather.

Well bloggers, it is time for the Sweet Stampin Challenge again, and this time we are looking for Distressing on Birthday cards.  Me - I love this type of thing, but I know it is not everybody's cup of tea.  I think most people might think this is grungy rather than distressed!

My papers are 29th Market Street - I have used both sides,  and they have been liberally torn, nibbled, and inked with Distress Ink.  The main image is a B Line Designs Stamp, as is the tiny air balloon down the side.  The tickets are a Tim Holtz stamp.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I have used Distress Crackle Paint over it.  The ribbon has been coloured with distress ink and copics to give it a slightly grungy look.

This card is destined for a friend of mine who is off travelling for a while just after his big 60, hence the subject of the card.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

- CES Challenge - Anything goes
- Srampin' for the Weekend #45 - Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.
