DCM most distressing





Over at the Daring cardmakers this week the dare is to distress and you can use either a fingernail, curled edges, sandpaper, tearing, anything you like really as long as looks like it's had a fair bit or wear and tear this is mine, i have used a teabag to distress the map which was cut from my cricut paperdolls cartridge.
