I tole painted this little scene from a pattern a very long time ago. It was first done on w/c paper, but before I used it, I made a copy and stuffed it somewhere. Well, today I found the "somewhere", made another copy then used it for today's challenge. Who knows......since I still have a copy, I might use it again sometime! LOL.............Now that is recycling!
Since this was tole painted, it just looked a little dull to me so I "carded" it up. Doodled everywhere, clear embossed certain parts and added the pearls over the painted white dots. After cutting it out and rounding the corners I sponged the edges. Put this on a white card that I stamped the pined needles with peaceful wishes clear embossing them. Sponded the edges with tea dye.
Well, hope you like it. There was another part to it, but I'll save that for another day......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! I think you got the first card made from the original a long time ago!
