Red Carpet Studio Challenge - Distress

I'm hosting this week's challenge over at Red Carpet Studio Challenge blog.  

The challenge is inspired by a movie near and dear to me.....

This movie was filmed right in my neighborhood!!!  EEK!!

The scene below was filmed just 2 blocks from my house!   Cool huh???

 

   

The buildings in this picture have not been altered or touched up.  They actually do look like that.  This part was filmed on the steps of the Masonic Lodge.  When this scene was being filmed, I was across the street with my granddaughter snapping pictures.  I have several snapshots of scenes that make it into the final movie.      And the first day of filming...my husband and I were out for a walk and stumbled quite by accident upon a fan greeting by Johnny Depp and the cast!!!   They were great wit the crowd doing a meet and greet.  

Now that the history lesson is over....................ha ha......................here's my project.....

I created a card using a Saturated Canary digital stamp.  I colored her with Copic markers.

And I distressed the edges of all my papers with a Tim Holtz distress tool and Gathered Twigs distress ink.  

The lace is from Hero Arts.  The flowers are from Glimpz of Memories.  The pearls, patterned papers, and paper pen are from Miriam's Crafting Supplies/The Craft Source.  

                                       

                             

And I couldn't leave well enough alone....so I had to add some clear Wink of Stella to her dress.  

This was my first (ever) attempt at a shabby/chic type card.  I LOVE the way it turned out.
