Off to live at grandmother's…

I thought this was the cutest image by Mo’s Digital Pencil.  I have several images by Mo and they’re one of my favorites.  I am always reminded of “Ann of Green Gables” when I see this one.  The challenge calls for the card to be distressed and use lace. 





I distressed this with several techniques.  The frame around the image is a frame that I had left over after I cut a mat out on my card that will be posting Thursday for DDSC.  I took my distressing inks and dabbed  several colors so it would go with the image.  I then took copper perfect pearls and rubbed it on in a few places.  The doily is by Cheery Lynn Designs. Many of the embellishments are from my stash. Here's a close-up of the little lady.

I tried a new technique for my charm today, too.  On someone's blog (sorry I forgot to write her name down)I learned how to transform metallic items with acrylic paints or fingernail polish.  This is my first try; and my "chain" is made from twine that I kept tying into knots until I got the length I wanted.


Here’s the inside of my card:
