Good evening everyone! I have a card to share for the Lawnscaping Challenge this week! I made this card last week but this is the first chance I had to post it. I'm recovering from surgery that I had a few days ago and it was hard to find time to take pictures and upload everything, but I found some time this evening. I'm still feeling a little bit sore, but I should be feeling much better in a few days.

Anyways, the challenge this week was to create a card using some form of distress. This was a challenge because I really like nice and clean cards, but I was able to come up with this card:

I decided to make this card for a friend of ours who is having a baby in September! They don't know if they're having a boy or a girl yet, so I distressed some pink and blue paper behind the baby cutout. Here is a close up of the distressed paper:

This was a really neat challenge and I'm glad that I did it! I might start incorporating some more distressing techniques into my cards! Thanks for looking!!
