Distressing & Tearing - a Birthday card - Just Add Ink #79

Distressing and tearing, two of my most favourite techniques to use on a card.  Usually I do one or the other, not both, but this time I did both.
This is the challenge with Just Add Ink #79 here

Stamps: Countryside, Lovely as a Tree, Petitie Pairs, Season of Friendship
Inks: Early Espresso, Real Red, Su Markers (Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy, More Mustard), Watercolor Crayons (Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Rose Red, Cherry Cobbler, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Gray, Basic Black,)
Papers: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
Accessories: Aqua painter, dimensionals


Techniques: Tearing, folding corners, distressing edges, inking edges and image surface to give it an aged look, crumpling and inking folds, overlaying images
