DH went snowboarding today after doing some pools first. What a great guy. I did my pools, came home still not feeling good. So to take my mind off my stuffy head I made a card......details....
This is for both the TLC and CAS challenges for today. My biggest question is, do the stickles ever dry? Sheesh. I should have read the instructions a little closer, especially the part where Joan said to put your card together THEN paint with the stickles. I did manage to get it taped together without toooooo much smearing. hehe
I tried the kissing part for the CAS challenge. I inked up the weathered bg stamp, then "kissed" it with a tree from lovely as a tree. Sadly, it didn't work so I must admit I cheated. I re-stamped the tree only on the cs. Sorry.
Cut the panel out using a nestie, sponged on color around the edges. Layered with black cs then put on a kraft card.
Made a cheater bow using some very pretty ribbon that came on a bottle of wine from a customer. Maybe I should be drinking the wine. hehe Added a dragonfly charm. Done.....stickles still wet. hehe
Well, I'm going to put on my pj's and hit the couch. Hopefully after dinner I will be back to comment....have a great week!....TFL :0)

Sorry you aren't feeling well, Cathy...hopefully the Stickles therapy helped you feel a little better!!! Your tree looks spectacular (even if you did cheat but I won't hold it against you...LOL!!!) and I love the sponging and distressing....gorgeous dawwwling!!! BTW...if you stick your card close to a light bulb like under a goose neck lamp, it will dry faster.

Your tree with the weathered bg looks amazing! Love the sponging around the outside, it gives a glow of light around the tree. Hey, hope you're feeling better very soon!!
