I used tim holtz crackle paint on the backing paper..which is basic grey..really effective but you cant see it so well in the pics


did some distressing and used a safety pin to hold together a bit i ripped too much (on purpose of course lol)

wound some twine stems of the flowers around a paintbrush just to add to the effect...a little something i have to thank Debbie for over at passion for crafts (such a talented lady)

latst but not least got out the old faithful prit stick (which i hate using lol) and twirled some pink string to give the image a bit of a frame :D

Well...this is my first....and my last :D side step card *me no likey!* mannn how hard are they to decorate!! had to colour her 3 times with promarkers to get her right (and its not like there much colour lol) then i find out my cards too thin when i put glue on the steps so i could glitter them....so they warped (one is gritting teeth by now) ribbons kept coming undone while trying to take pic...everytime i adjusted....the card fell over lol (goingbald by now) so i'd pic i up and the ribbons would slip....then the card would fall...you're getting the jist...right? rofl It was fun and unfortunately the pic doesnt really do it any favours as its alot prettier in person (or in card as the case maybe lol) I spent alot of time adding bits to suit certain challenges i wanted to enter.....
