ACOT Message Board

This month is all about Distressing and I'd like to see you 'get messy' with your scrapbooking! So get out the paints and inks and mists. Maybe some Gesso or Glossy Accents. Use tearing, stitching, stamping, masking or distressing tools? Whatever you have that sounds like it fits the bill pull it out and get started! No set rules, except to use at least 3 different types of distressing and please list what they are.
On my layout I used....
inking, stamping, machine stitching, Heidi Swapp Distressing Tool

Beach Bliss -


For the fine print....
This can be paper, digi, card, or a project. All work must be new. You may do this more than 1 time. You may combine this with one other July Challenge that allows that. Please link your work here along with the "July Technique Challenge Folder" in the gallery. Deadline extended to August 31st. A random winner will be selected for a $5 ACOT gift card!

Hope you have FUN with this!

By the way I will be on vacation at Cocoa Beach, FL from July 6th - 13th and I'll catch back up here when we return.
