CCC#24: Rock Candy Distress Stickles

Haven't crafted in a while but really wanted to participate in the CCC#24 so jammed this out this morning.  Just got this ATC stamp by Stampers Anonymous and had to use it right away.  Made it simple:  Stamped the image in Archival ink onto a pre-cut ATC.  Didn't have the nibs by Ranger so I pulled out my old blender pen----used to color in the images with Distress Inks Barn Door, Vintage Photo, Faded Blue Jeans and Pine Needles.  Covered the entire piece in Rock Candy Distress Stickles.  And the blue rhinestones for the finishing touch.  Quick but fun---just the crafty fix I needed.  Happy Holidays all!!

CCC#23: Double Distress

My version of Double Distress for the CCC#23 hosted by Miss Linda over at StudioL3 blog.  We had two weeks to complete this (instead of our usual one week) and still I am entering it on the last day.  Not that I haven't had it done, just not posting it till now.  Oh, well---so much for the best of intentions.  Guess I just work better at the last minute ;)
