You've heard of the Covid 15?? No?? Well it's kind of like the freshman 15, but worse. I have a doctor appointment in December and I'm nervous to step on that scale. Truth? I'm always nervous to step on that scale. Could I step on my scale and maybe do something about it before December? Of course I could. I'm gaining 5 pounds just looking at this card.
This is for Rebekah's FF20 challenge and today's MIX. Rebekah showed us some beautiful pictures of Christmas decorations using white, silver, aquas and blues, glitter and glam. I chose the picture of the cut out snowflake cookies. I love this CS stamp set with all its dimensional cookie stamps and cute sentiments.
I started out with two of my backgrounds from Monday's TLC: alcohol ink marbling. I used the stencil with the opal polish, color is called lavender blue. Luscious! It's a round stencil, btw. Doesn't it look like a Stroopwafel??? Added some teal glitter paint to the background and sentiment. The cookies are heat embossed with silver and then adding the Nuvo drops (three different ones). Don't they look like those silver balls for baking?? Oh my, I'm in trouble. As far as the MIX goes, I used my fingers in the water during the marbling and I spread the polish and glitter with my fingers. So most everything was created with my 10 stubby, short fingers.
A friend of mine gifts me with lots of cookies at Christmas; this year, I don't think I will have any family staying with me so I'm really going to have to spread the wealth around. I remember when my daughter was born at Christmas time 39 years ago, I often only ate Christmas cookies because they were easy to pick up while feeding her. Not healthy, but one does what one has to. Have you noticed people decorating for Christmas already?? Neighbor across the street already has every lit. Maybe we need to look forward to 2020 being over or we need something new to look at. Follow the light!

Beautiful mixed media card. Yes, they look good enough to eat! And I am in big trouble this year weight wise because of starting off the year with two broken wrists, then Covid came along. And I just kept eating! Eek!

I've fav'd this bfnm. What a fab example of finger painting (smile)! And another confession that the Club Scrap envy!!! This is a marvelous work of your heart. The color fade is so pretty.
And regarding eating the cookies...just remind your doc, this is Holiday Season...10lbs is a given...
