Santa & Pup

Hello!  I have an extra card to share with you this week.  A few weeks ago, I took a vacation day from work and spent the day crafting with a friend.   I had fun coloring some images just for fun, not for a DT project.  This is one of the images I colored.

I used some liquid pearls to accent this image.  I have to say I have a love/hate relationship with liquid pearls…  When they work well and come out nicely, I love them.   In this case, I hated them.  When I was half way done adding the pearls, a big ol’ splat came out on my project.  I painstakingly cleaned it up and went on to have another splat come out.   After some choice words, I cleaned it up and finished it.  Of course then when I picked up the image to set it aside to dry, I put my thumb right in to some of the pearls and smooshed them all over.   Grrrrr……    I don’t think it turned out too bad after the pearl –tastrophe was fixed.

 

Anyhow, enough babble from me.  I had a hard day at work today and I am heading off to bed early.

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Jeannie said...

Such an adorable image! I agree with you about the liquid pearls, and unless I have a day of perfect patience going on I won't even attempt them. They look great on this card!

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, and I'm living in Phoenix now. There is a lot that I miss, but the snow and cold are not on that list!

Peace & Luv,
Jeannie
