Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 5--Distress Powder

I won't be late for this week's Compendium of Curiosities challenge. The challenge is Distress Powder from p. 43 of Tim Holtz's book. I started my art with paper from my paper stack (Tim Holtz) Lost and Found. I distressed the cardstock using my Distrezz-It All and them used pumice stone and vintage photo distress inks along the edges.all of the stamps except the birdcage (Stampington) are from the Tim Holtz collection. I used the distress powder on the birdcage and the flowers. I think it gives the images such a cool effect.

Barbara, this turned out beautifully! From that cool, stone-like background paper to your image choices to your perfect Distress Powder technique, you aced this challenge!

Isn't the Distrezz-It-All the coolest tool ever? I just look for stuff to shove into that that thing so I can press the magic button!

Wow! This is excellent. I love that birdcage. I haven't used my Distress-it-all much but you have inspired me.
