"Shabby" Paper Distressing + Paper Pumpkin

Today I have a quick share for you courtesy of a March 2018 Paper Pumpkin alternative card and  TGIF Challenge #153. I chose Charlotte's card for my inspiration. Let's take a look:

Here's your crafty tip: To get an aged "shabby" distress look on my papers I used a very watery paintbrush and painted on some white Gesso. Then I crumpled up my papers, ripped them, tore them, and roughed them up. I like the look of the white wash over top of the papers. The cat is optional!
I couldn't find any lace in my stash so I used a border punch to get the look and put the pieces behind my layer.

Have a crafty day!
