My challenge to you is to use distressing on your card. You can make a holiday card, or any other card. Just use some kind of distressing on it. I used some patterned paper and an old vintage image from my stash.

In my sample card, I distressed the edges of most of the layers and even bent them around a little bit. I wanted the card to look old. Even the patterned paper I chose has a vintage feel. You can use whatever method of distressing that you'd like. The sky's the limit - bend it, tear it, ink it - just have fun with it.

I can't wait to see your cards! Don't forget to tally up your points: http://mysketchworld.s2.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=3487 and then add them to the challenge point thread: http://mysketchworld.s2.bizhat.com/viewforum.php?f=62

Such a pretty card, Cheryl! And Santa will like that you used a picture of him where he looks a bit thinner. Yes. He will like that very much! I will make sure to point it out to him!

Oh, Cheryl - you are a master at taking a technique like distressing and then providing an example that makes me want to distress the heck out of something! This card is so lovely and vintage and antique looking.
Beautiful!

I used a distressing edger on the cardstock and crumbled the pp for this card.
