I am a hairy gal.
And for many years, I had searched for the perfect hair removal tool and this was one of them. The EPILADY. Dude, this thing hurt bad!! After a while I gave up using it, the pain was too much. BUT, I couldn't throw it away, it cost too much.
Fast forward to my card making days and this little baby came in handy as a DISTRESS TOOL! It works just like a Distrezz it all by Zutter. It is how I got the distressed edges on my card.
Here is the inspiration photo for Runway Inspired Challenge:

I LOLed at how you distress those paper. And yes, this just confirmed that I need to get that silhouette for christmas. Yup, need it so badly!
ReplyDeleteDude. This is a discovery of the year, and darn funny too! Who's ever brave enough to use this stuff anyway?? Might as well make it worth its money, especially that Distrezz It All is not the cheapest tool either. Fantastic csrd, would have never thought of combining distressed edges with a clean & graphic panel but darn! It works so well!
ReplyDeleteUpon reading the title of your post my first thought was 'do I really wanna know?!'. I'm skipping my mind past the epilady stuff to say this card is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe title of your post had me totally intrigued Wida...and I was completely in awe when I saw your card - gorgeous! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Wida! Love the distressed edges! You are so creative and funny! I love it!

Oh I hear you on the Epilady hurting bad, great use for it! I know I tossed mine years ago, I had the original. Your card is fantastic Wida. Oh, I can`t believe you missed the first episode!!!

ReplyDeleteAside from the fact that this is a fantastic card, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the fabulous Epilady story!!
ReplyDeleteLOL you're so funny. Love your take on the challenge... and glad you got an awesome "crafting" tool out of it :)
ReplyDeleteI I love how you got the distressed edges! But very scary to think how that thing feels on skin after seeing the effect on paper. Great design!
ReplyDeleteMuch better as a distressing tool - and less distressing for the operator!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Wida :)
LOL! Oh Wida, I had such a good laugh over your post! This has got to be the best non-traditional use of a project ever! :D And it worked perfectly - your card rocks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I think is more awesome ... you, your card, or your distressing tool.
ReplyDeleteHaha! You are funny! I love this card and cut file!
