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!

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,
