Vicki Dutcher, as hostess this week of the Stampin' B's Design Team, asked that we do some distressing on our cards this week. I did a little tearing on the cardstock and some sanding on my dp.
This card will go to one of my sons for his birthday. When he was little, he was such a train lover. While visiting my parents, if he and my Dad heard a train whistling in the distance, my Dad would get my boys in the car and carry them to the train station so my train-loving son could get a good look at the trains. So, this should bring back good memories for my son. While making the card, it brought back some good memories of my Dad for me, too.
Hope you'll join us this week for a distressed look to your card/project. Just go to the link above and use the inlinkz tool to upload.
I am entering my card in Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #68 which calls for distressing.
