Two posts in one day, that's really good for me at the moment!
I love the theme at TMTA this week and I thought that it was about time that Erica got another airing. The background of this is an idea that I had as I was trying to get to sleep last night. I love using corrugated cardboard in my crafting, but sometimes I don't want brown, so I wondered if I could recreate the effect of torn corrugated cardboard with coloured cards and a paper ribbler. It's not quite how I saw it in my head, but it's a start!
I also wanted to distress the edges, but I don't have one of those fancy distressers (although I want one) but I've found that if I run it along the bit where my scissor blades meet I can get a similar effect.
