Distress to De-Stress Sketch!

Hi Everyone, welcome back to Our Creative Corner! Thank you to all who participated in last week's challenge to 'Get Wordy' - we're going through all your entries, look out for our favourite picks later in the week!

This week our hostess is Sarah Gough - THinkING STAMPS and she's asking us to Distress to De-Stress using the provided sketch! Stamping is a great way to relax and distressing your card is a fun way to work out a little frustration. This week crumple flowers, distress edges or sponge your stress away while you work with the sketch!

We'll be looking for gorgeously distressed cards that work with the sketch for our creative awards next week!

Here are the amazing design team samples for this week...
