For Dawn's last week as designer at Our Creative Corner she chose a birthday card theme. And my friend Evan has a birthday coming up next month, so I took this opportunity to create a card especially for him. Evan has sight difficulties, and while he does have some "normal" sight, he relies on touch a lot. So this card had to have stuff for him to touch and feel, different textures, etc. So I first reached for my T!m Holtz Grungeboard! Built-in texture there! I pulled an "E' out and also a frame. I used Ranger DistressInk on both. I found some rope-like ribbon in my stash. All the edges of the cardstock have been distressed and roughed up with my distresser tool. Once I added the brads to the frame, I used my T!m Holtz distressing hammer on them to beat them up and added a bit of DistressInk to them to make them look old and gnarly!

Hey Sue, I just now read about what all you've been going through! I hope things keep healing quickly and you're feeling 100% soon! Great card too!
