Mo's dp2 challenge dt

I know i am a terrible hostess :(, you gonna have to forgive me, but my day did not start off well.  I awoke this morning with a migraine of note and it did not get any better as the progressed, by 2 this afternoon i wanted to throw up, thank G"d it has now dissipated somewhat and i am finally able to post this.
To make matters worse we are having major internet problems and i have been trying now for three and a half hours just to load my pictures, AAAAARRRRGGG!!!!

I have set the challenges for this month on Mo's dp2 challenges, and my first challenge for this month is "shades of age"  I want to see all those shades that make an item look "old": it can be distressed, it could be the colors, however you interpret aging.  I look forward to seeing everybodies different interpretations of the challenges that i have set this month, almost like a mother looks forward to watching her children try something new.  It give me such pleasure to see what comes flowing from the creative juices.

For my card i have used "Buds" again, i just love this image, available from Mo's digital pencil, colored with my copics,  i distressed all the edges and then stitched them and inked them, used very few klayers as i wanted a cleaner uncluttered card, and since we cant very well add flowers to boys cards i added leaves that i punched out with two different sized leaf punches.  I stamped my sentiment, a Su stampin brushed corduroy.

Have a fun weekend
