BG Distressed

I've been meaning to have a go at the basicgrey challenges and thought this would fit this weeks distressing...

"Right on to this weeks challenge, this week we would like you to show distressing on your creations, please remember that you must use at least one item from BasicGrey, anything else on your creation is up to you"

I could have added some ripped edges and stuff! It looks a bit more aged then distressed!
