For 2 days, I've been taking photographs of CRAKs. Unfortunately, there was no sun on either of these days, so I waited until a glimpse of sun peaked through the clouds today to photograph this incredibly beautiful and unique card from Chritiane, aka ophthalmologist.
Christiane, did you use tykenol on this? I'm thinking no because it's not on a glossy photo paper. I've felt it numerous times and looked at it from every angle so many times, but I still have no idea how you managed to add the finest layer of glitter I've ever seen on a card. It's just beautiful and done in your genuinely artistic and complicated style.
Christiane, I need to express my sincere apology for not acknowledging or uploading your card prior to the first week in February. December and January were chaotic months for me with work and life. It was not deliberate that I didnt upload earlier, but rather it was just a stressful few months.
It was so kind of you to send that beautiful package of V&A Museum and this card as well.
Take good care, my friend, and thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
Hugs, Anne

Sshhhhhh, Anne, don't you tell it to anyone: this is one of my quickest Xmas cards ever... No Teykol, I just stamped the sheet of music with green distress ink onto some cream cardstock, then overstamped the tree with Versamark ink and embossed it with clear powder. Then I wiped the whole card with the green distress ink I used for the music sheet before, wiped off the excess and just sprayed some gold spray over it... I LOVE this gold spray, it's by the German stamping company Heindesign and is called Sternen-Nebel ("starry fog"). It creates an extremly fine layer of glitter - unfortunately, it has been discontinued recently :-(
