Seemed like everyone else used a lighter color of tissue paper, I don't think my red tissue paper was even the right kind, but it was all I had. It did come in a gift bag, so it was what I used. This went together rather quickly, as there wasn't any coloring going on. I don't think it popped as well as all the other cards in the gallery did. Oh well, here are the details.......
Stamped my image on my red tissue paper, crumbled up, set aside. Stamped it again on white cs, cut out parts that I didn't want to pop, then glued it onto black cs. Then glued my red already stamped tissue paper over top. Pulled out the old sewing machine and did a fancy smancy stitch around the image. Put a silver edge using the silver leafing pen.
Made a bg panel on glossy linen cs using Tim Holtz alcohol ink technique. Put my panel on a white card that I had put silver leafing pen on the edges. Popped up my main -didn't-pop-so- well image. That was it. No doodling today! Well, tell me what you think.........TFL :0)

This turned out great Cathy. I love the sewing. WOW what a cool stitch that is. Love the alcohol technique on the back panel. The snowman pops great. I used white behind mine and it didn't pop at all. Should have gazed the gallery a bit. Super job. TFS

Yikes, you own a sewing machine, Nutmeg? And I'm just see it now? Like, what's that all about? Love your card. It is just delightful in the red tissue. Your bg dp is ever so wonderful,, too. What a great card this just happens to be!
