Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the May 7th,2012 Craft Your Passion Challenge' and the theme is Torn and Distressed Edges. Go take a peek and if you enter their challenge you might win a Doodle Pantry prize. This was quite a challenge for me as I am a big fan of distressing but have very seldom made a torn or distressed edged card, I just never seem to know what to do. I was looking forward to this challenge as it would force me to give it a go. I did the distressing using a Tim Hotlz tool and it worked surprisingly well, however any torn edges were totally unintentional. I wasn't brave enough to actually tear them with my fingers:O)
