OK, so maybe I over did this one a bit, lol. I was going for the distressed, soft look but I think I got more of a overdone grunge look! Oh well, as many already know---my words for the year are "it is what it is" No Stress!
So that pretty much means you get what you get, lol, sorry about that!
This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch and of course my grungy card.
So what do you think? I went too far.....???

Paper: Crushed Curry, So Saffron, Whisper White and Chocolate Chip

Hope you have a wonderful day--stay warm and TGIF!

I don't think that it went too far! I always love the look that distress or as you put it "grunge" cards have! I really like how the main image panel turned out.
Not overdone at all! This is darling and I absolutely love it!
Really, I like this a LOT. All the textures you have going on make this monochromatic card really pop!
Not overdone at all! Very pretty and it is a perfect "grunge" card!
I am not usually a fan of yellows- but this is just GORGEOUS!!! Perfectly embellished too!
This is a beautiful card. Very lovely work - I sure don't see grunge(what is that anyway?).

Simply beautiful, not overdone at all. Love all the extra touches.
This is lovely and not at all "over done"
Very pretty! Love the yellows...very springy! {SMILES}
I really like the look. I love the ways the things come together.
Definitely not overdone! All of the elements work together beautifully.
I think the card looks beautiful, I'm right there with you on the distressing, mine ends up looking like grunge, but it's still very pretty!
This is very pretty and not over done at all! I love it.

It has a wonderfully distressed look and I love it! The dots and colors used and the ink'd edges work really great together and I love the torn corner what a great idea for the sentiment!
in general...if you feel you have to apologize, throw it out. whose expectations are you trying to meet? i think this card would make it at every level, from pristine to stressed to grunge. maybe there needs to be a challenge about this. make 3 of the same cards, leave as is, stress one and grunge one out to the max. my guess is that each would be quite satisfying.
I like it a lot. I don't think it is overdone at all. TFS
I simply love this card and saved it...so elegant with the black and dotted embossing..
keep em coming.
