Cuttlebug Be Inspired #16

I recently found the Cuttlebug Challenge blog and decided to make a card today for the distressing challenge. It took me almost all day, but with a two year old, everything takes almost all day. Since I like using distressing on masculine cards, I made this Father's Day card--


I embossed the cardstock with the Spots & Dots embossing folder and added some machine stitching around the edges. I distressed all the edges of the cardstock and tag (love the tip for using a little water--it made the distressing a lot easier) and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in vintage photo. The star is a Sizzix die cut I painted and sanded. Thanks for looking!
