In precedenza avevo provato a distressare la carta con le forbici, ma non ci ero riuscita... Così nel mio ultimo ordine finalmente ho messo anche il paper distresser tool di Tim Holtz e devo dire che mi piace tantissimo questo strumento!!! :D
Per questa card ho usato anche due fustelle nuove per la mia Big Shot : Victoria Lace (Signature Dies) e Shrewsbury Stem (Memory box)
Vorrei partecipare al NBUS Challenge#6, dove la regola è proprio "usare qualcosa che non è mai stato usato prima" .
La base è un cartoncino embossato e contemporaneamente inchiostrato con alcuni Distress Ink (embossing folder Fantails- Sue Wilson).
Ho usato il paper distresser tool su un cartoncino inchiostrato con Spun Sugar e spruzzato d'acqua; ho anche arrotolato un angolo e poi l'ho attaccato con il foam biadesivo.
La tag l'ho sagomata con un punch e ho usato leggermente il distresser tool anche su di essa; anche questa è inchiostrata con i Distress Ink (Feather Peackock e Miller Lavander) e spruzzata d'acqua.
La bimba Gorjuss (I gave you my heart) l'avevo colorata tempo addietro con i Flexamarkers (non sono soddisfatta di come era venuta, mi trovo meglio con i Graph'it markers...); l'ho ritagliata con le forbici e incollata sopra la tag.
I due pezzetti di bordo azzurri (in alto e sulla tag, a destra della Gorjuss) sono tagliati con un punch Tonic da un avanzo di carta colorata con i Peackok Feather
I fiori li ho fatti con fustelle Heartfelt. Per colorare la rosa in alto ho usato il Distress Ink Abandoned Coral, mentre i fiori in basso ho usato piccoli avanzi di carte scrap.
Con questo progetto intendo partecipare ai seguenti 5 challenge :

What a sweet image on your beautiful card ~ so many lovely elements and layers.
Very pretty card, so cute...
Thanks for sharing with us at CraftyCatz this week..xx
This is so pretty, Alice! Your new distresser works great! I have a distresser but I always forget to use it! Your little Gorjuss girl is so cute and I love the beautiful assortment of dies you used - especially the lacy one - stunning! All of the little details make this so special! I would write more, but so sorry I'm not feeling well today so I must be quick.
I've never managed to color dark hair, you did great! This card is so fantastic and show lots of your unique design style, with lots and lots of details (I don't know how you do that so beautifully, when I try it looks just messy). Sparkle and shine, rolled corners and flowers, oh wow. I knew you would be able to get use of those diamond hearts:)
This is a beautiful card, such a pretty image and lots of lovely details.

Che bella, e quanti dettagli! Acquisti fantastici, specialmente quando vengono usati tanto e cosi' bene :-)
Alice, what a wonderful look on this lovely card, with all the embossing, distressing, gorgeous flowers & gems, the delicate doily & die flower. It's a very pretty image showcased by all the beauty with which you've surrounded her pretty self. You've done an outstanding job with your NBUS entry! Good luck with the prizes too! How sweet of Pia to send you the goodies that you've used here. TFS & Happy Sunday. Hugs
Brilliantly designed creation and love the awesome colours used.

Ciao, Alice,
io adoro Gorjuss, perciò non posso che adorare iltuo lalavoro! Mi piacciono molto i fiorellini che hai fatto con piccoli avanzi: sono corposi e con i petali con le giuste venature. Delizioso il cuoricino di Pia! È vero, sembra colorato. Comunque si vede che è molto brillante. E anche le perle che hai messo nei fiori sono così luccicanti!
Ottimo lavoro!
E grazie per aver partecipato al mio blog candy!

Your comment about my art was much appreciated, but even more so, I thank you for your kind words about the loss of my dear sweet Dianna. You are very thoughtful!! hugs until next time :)
So pretty - love the distressed rolled up corner paper and what a sweet image!
Quanti bellissima dettagli? Come sempre. Colori splendida e la bambina del timbro è dolcissima.
I love how you've pulled together contrasting elements in his project and everything works beautifully together. Sweet and shabby. Your bits and bobs totally rock this project, my friend. Sorry I'm late visiting... can't seem to shake this awful stomach flu.
