Distressed frame


This is another card for the frame Challenge at the Penny Black blog. I used the negative of the spellbinder die and stamped the Hero Arts woodgrain stamp then I rubbed distressed ink over the cardstock. The Flower is colored with copics and cut out attached to a panel stamped with a old club scrap stamp and the Hero Arts envelope pattern. The twine is Hero arts, and the button is from PTI. I also distressed the edges of the frame inside and out to give it a more rustic feel.

We are in need up rain here very badly, last I heard we were 7 inches below what is the norm. It is so hot and dry that I am watering the gardens twice a day and they are still not looking great. Yesterday, DH left me some extra hoses and a sprinkler( Of which I did not see at first) to help with my vegetable gardens. Thinking I needed to use the old sprinkler I attached everything only to find it did not work of course! After a long struggle, both Wyatt and I were soaked, he was crying, and I still could not get the old sprinkler to come off. It was hot and I was beat, frustrated and soaked, I made do by manually turning it for awhile, but then just gave up. I am so hoping my DH remember to use his big muscles to take it apart for me, or this morning is not going start off well! So for now I am praying for some rain, to help me! Hope you have a stress free weekend!
