I am a procrastinator, so perhaps it is a good thing that Flourishes is sponsoring a monthly Christmas card challenge (See it's the 28th of the month, and I'm just getting my entry in for the month!) Maybe this way, I will actually have some great cards ready in time to send out for Christmas.
I used the distress crackle paint in rock candy over my angel image that was colored with copics. After my crackle was dry, I rubbed distress inks over it, to really give it an antique patina.
So, is it too early to start wishing you a Merry Christmas?
