Well, it was just supposed to be my card that was distressed - but after trying to upload my photos for this post to Blogger, it is now me who's distressed.
Why do Blogger have to change things without letting people know? Okay, so once I've worked it out, it is fairly easy but I don't want to waste my time searching help pages and trying to work things out. I'm still learning my way around my new PC so I could do without this extra hastle. I am a great believer of "If it ain't broke - Don't fix it!".
Right, I've got my moan out of the way now ..... on to the crafting.
I've made this fairy card for 3 challenges:
The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Distressing
Totally Paper Crafts - Recipe of 4 embelishments (3 flowers + 1 charm), 3 Papers, 2 ribbons, 1 image
One Stitch at a time - Flowers (Thanks Liz for introducing me to this challenge site)
The image is by Pollycraft and is coloured with promarkers. Last Saturday I went to a class at the Secret Crafter shop which was great. Fortunately I don't live too far away from there. The lady who was showing us how to blend/shade with promarkers was very knowledgeable (sorry, I can't remember her name - names have never been one of my strong points!) I just want to buy more of the pens now - I'll need a considerably bigger box soon!
The prima flowers were bought from the Secret Crafter shop and I really made the card around these flowers because I loved them and wanted to use them.
Oh, and if anyone from Blogger reads this, your new photo uploading is rubbish!
Thanks everyone for reading my grumpy post and I hope you don't have any problems uploading your blog photos.

Lovely card Amanda, your colouring and colour choice are brill and I love your flowers too.
I don't have problems uploading to blogger but I have a Mac and use a programme called ecto that already uses flickr as the host. I do agree though that it would have been nice to have been notified about the changes
