After a series of clean and simple cards…how about a card that is equally simple to make, but distressed, vintage-style and a little more time-intensive? That is exactly what I made for the next Pals Paper Arts challenge. Trust me. It’s not difficult to make, but it does take longer than 45 minutes. Join me for Thursday’s reveal.
In the meantime, make certain to check out this week’s Pals Artist Picks at Pals Paper Arts!
I am referring to aging process you used on the paper!!!!!!
🙂
They say aging is a beautiful process and you have proved it with this card! Lovely elements!
Absolutely gorgeous. This really is a wonderful piece of art Ann!
Wow, Ann! What an incredible card. I love all the distressing you’ve done – such a wonderful variety of ways to distress. And those pearls are truly the finishing touch! Beautiful.
this is beautiful Ann-love this image and the emboss resist is always gorgeous-I tried it for the first time on one of my cards-loved the outcome-thanks for your inspiration
VERY beautiful Ann!! Lots of gorgeousness going on in this card!
Lots of layers, distressing, pearls and more-what could one ask for? Can’t wait for the full reveal!!! Kathy in AZ
Boy, I am stressing over the distressing! I love it! What could be better than a little distressing (or a bunch!), pearls, snowflakes, and layers? At least now I have something to look forward to tomorrow – I am sure it will be wonderful.

Love the embossing and the pearls!
How did Brody do? Also how is the chest muscle? Is it any better?
Can’t wait for tomorrows peek!
Already love it Ann. I see black/white/tan and I see PEARLS!
Hugs
I find it difficult to wait…like achild in a candy store! I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait!!
Love the peek of your card. It looks fabulous, can’t wait to see the whole card.
Of course there are pearls involved!!! You are the Pearl Queen!
I can hardly wait to see the whole card! Distressing is definitely easier than what it looks like and pearls add that perfect WOW!
Can’t wait to see what I know is going to be a classic Ann card! I already love what I see with all the embossing and distressing! Love that gorgeous snowflake with all the pearls!
Already loving what little I see! I know it is going to be a great Christmas card. Love the snowflake and the embossing. Looking forward to the rest of the card.
Can’t wait to see this card….looks so much like your style..ohhhhhh
Gonna be a beauty for sure! Can’t wait to see this one.
Oh, My! What a tempting ‘taste’ of something that is sure to be absolutely scrumptious! Looking forward to the whole thing, Ann!!
Oooh…layers! And embossed layers. And embossed snowflakes…and I’m guessing maybe embossed resist on the image? Loverly!
Hi Ann,
can´t wait to see your card. BTW you made this card in 45 min., if i´ll make it, it takes me the whole day long ;)).
hugs and smiles

I know I am going to love this card; loving the embossed Christmas Lodge on what looks like Very Vanilla with distressing, great snowflakes accented by those gorgeous pearls!
