Here’s a birthday card I made for my fantastic upline last week.  Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Amy!

Because I am really drawn to a clean style with straight lines, wrinkling up dsp and giving it a “messy” look is quite unnatural for me — it just doesn’t feel right.  However, I like the look and decided I needed to use it a little more.  However, you can see that I didn’t quite let go — it doesn’t look very distressed in the photo, does it?  🙂  I guess old styles die hard.

Have a great Tuesday!  Thanks for stopping by!
