Happy Sunday!
We are relaxing this weekend and taking a much needed break just hanging out at home. Hope you've had a good weekend too. I did a little crafting last night but needed to wait for glue to dry before I could finish my project. So now I'm ready to share it with you.
On this card I used the cracked glass technique except that I cheated and used crackle finish glue. I colored the image with Copics and then applied the glue and waited until this morning for it to dry fully and work it's crackle magic. It does cause some Copic ink to bleed, specifically the red, but I still like the final result.
On my finished card I have used the new Very Merry designer paper available now at Whimsy. These papers were designed by Crissy and Ann, exclusively for Whimsy Stamps. This piece has beautiful poinsettia flowers along the edges with a cream background. The flowers are the same as the one from the Vintage Christmas stamp set and were hand colored by Crissy and then Ann used them to create the final layouts. I distressed the edges with a tool and then embellished with lace and ribbon and this big beautiful gardenia flower.
