Here is my card for the WT today. You probably cannot see most of what I did to 'age' this card. I stamped with the linen bkgdr. on both the image and the base card. I also 'aged' the main panel with sponging....this was actually a linen cs which is now aged and matches my mustard base card.
Thanks for looking.

WOW....Joanne, your "aging" is so perfect that I was sure that you had lit a match to your lovely cardinal panel. Your REALLY achieved a realistic burnt edge look. Lovely Christmas card.

I laughed out loud at the title of your card, I was expecting to see a chicken on a spit-roast...it is great to see that your sweet bird is OK. This is fabulous and I love the faux burnt edges.
