Stressing the Distressing

Hello friends & followers!  Hope you have been well.  Today I have a card for the New Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge - Distressing.  Well, to me distressing has always involved newsprint and either a masculine image or a coffee themed image (for some reason coffee and newspapers go together for me, like on a Sunday morning) and I had neither by WnW so I decided to try something new and crinkled up a piece of vellum (more difficult than newspaper) and inked it with white ink instead of my traditional brown hues.  I also distressed the edges of Wags 'n Whiskers' pretty 'Say a Prayer' Angel and tore some pieces of pre-glittered white DCWV cardstock to give her clouds to float on and added some Diamond Stickles to her wings for some additional sparkle.  Maybe I should have cut her out and put her on the cloud?  I embossed and sponged the sentiment from MFT 'Essential Sentiments' set inside of a ribbon tag Nestabilities die (can you even see that it is embossed and sponged?).  So, what do you think?  (Please click on the photo itself for clearer resolution)

     This card also fulfills the requirements of the following additional challenges:

• Whimsy Stamps Challenge 36 - Distressing,
• Crafts and Me Challenge 81 - Embossing  (the die cut ribbon tag is embossed),
• Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 166 - Bingo (I went with pink-ribbon-die cut in the middle row),
