I think this week's Fusion Card Challenge is perfect for a little distressing.
I was inspired by the colors, theme and shape of the door. It felt a little *Americana* to me, so I started with Crafter's Companion Starry Eyed Embossing folder on Core'dinations Kraft-Core Nostalgic collection that I sanded with a sanding block to bring out the design.
Unity Stamp Company's Hope builds Courage once in red & again in brown for the accent banner, that I attached with foam tape. I liked how the word hope repeated in the inspiration image, so I added a few more text stickers to finish the design.


Love the look of that sanded background Steph! And that sentiment block is wonderful!
Stephanie, this is PERFECTION on the sketch and the image cue, WOW…Your creations are always so..well… creative!!!! Have a great weekend!
