Merry Christmas TLC507

Photo Details

Poster: Bailmac

Oh, what a struggle! I don't own copics so I went with classic SU! re-inkers and alcohol....I had trouble with the sanitizer so I gave up on that and just dabbed a kleenex soaked in alcohol on the paper. I like how it came out...well, the bg that is. NEVER fussy cut this cardinal and oh, wait for the liquid pearls to dry before trying to finish the card!

I added SU reinker to one of my bgs and it just doesn't spread the way the alcohol does. Love the look of the solid foliage image on your pretty bg!

Very pretty..your bg turned out great despite the lack of the listed materials. And I hear ya on that cardinal..your fussy cutting looks terrific but I'm sure it was difficult. Lovely holiday card!

Pam, I had to smile as I read your description....sounds like we were on similar paths! : ) Your results are TERRIFIC...no matter the path you took to get there. Makes a spectacular bg for your lovely cardinal.

I love this card Pam!! I'm not sure how it was "supposed" to turn out, but the results you got are lovely. I always love cardinals, and I like the bg you created. I like how some of the white showed through.

A beautiful card! I love the black stamped designs stamped over the lovely bg. The burlap was a great addition too.
