First I would like to say a very big thank you for all your lovely messages of support to Luca for his operation. It all went brilliantly and he is home and very happy and it was a total success. So Claire and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I was very thrilled to be invited to guest design for this week's ABC Challenge. The theme this week is Distressing. Thank you so much for the honour of joining you girls.
I have stamped my Magnolia Image with Versafine black onyx onto Waterford water colour paper. I have coloured this with distress ink pads. The heart and swirl is Tim's grungeboard shapes which I have painted with crackle paint and distressed with walnut stain. I have sprayed these and the flowers with iridescent gold glimmer mist. The leaves are punched and embossed using a Nellies Choice punch. The bazzill flowers are quickutz. The stickles I have used are star dust. All my papers are distressed with Tim's distressing tool and inked with walnut stain.
I thank you so very much for your visit and wish you a wonderful day!

Hi Kim, I'm so sorry I haven't commented recently but I've been having pesky problems with Mr Blogger either not loading blogs at all or not allowing me to comment. It's driven me bonkers over the past 2 weeks but seems (ssshhh don't let him hear me) to be behaving well this morning.
As always there are some stunningly beautiful project I've missed commenting on and this one is no exception. They take my breath away!
More importantly, I sympathise with your anxiety over Luca's operation and am so glad all is well. You'll need no encouragement to give him a big hug from me will you, Lol!
Hugs
