Use Something New
I'm making a start on my Christmas cards early and have made these three cuties for my three nieces. I've used the gingerbread image from the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun cd - simply enlarged it without any quality issues and then added thick liquid pearls, a banner and half pearls.
I've handwritten the banners with their names and used bakers twine from my stash. I think the girls will like them!
I've found (through trial and error!) that the Papermania own brand of liquid pearls (although around half the price of proper liquid pearls) has a large nozzle so not good for detailed and fine work but great for replica icing!
I coloured the bunting with Promarkers to match the red bows on the gingerbreads.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
