we're saying "Merry Christmas" to you and yours with our last challenge of the year. So, let's see those Christmas projects....using a Tiddly Inks image, of course!
This is what I did.....
I used Santa's Helper. I love this guy, I think I've used him for at least one Christmas card for the past few years. Christy's new images are just gorgeous....but there's something about her older ones that make me fall in love with TIs all over again.
Look at that rub on sentiment, my friends. Go on, look at it. That's a whole lot of rub on right there. When I decided I was going to use it I thought I'd end up dead before I ever got it on the card. See, me and rub ons don't get on so good. But that's because I'm ridiculously cheap and most of my rub on have come from the dollar store or been dredged up from the bottom of some clearance craft bin where they'd been lying in wait for a decade or so. So, I was prepared to do battle with this monster. I had cleared my schedule and I had crafted a few creative swear word combinations for the occasion. But, as it turns out, (and I hate to be anti-climatic here), it was an absolute dream. Didn't even have to do that gently-peel-up-the-corner-and-check-if-it's-all-on-there-oh crap-it's-not-so-now-I-have-to-put-it-back-down-line-it-all-up-and-scrape-the-bejeebers-out-of-it. Nope, just gave it a good rub, and it transferred so lickity-split that you would have thought it was a stamp. I'll just save those curse-combos for a different situation. Believe me, they won't go to waste!

Hihihihihi . . . cracked me up with the rub-on sticker scenario (I daresay I agree, which is why I rarely use them). Wonderful card and love that paper!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, that little fellow is so gorgeous! And you've summed up in one paragraph why I never use rub ons any more - I've never tried any but the cheapest and they've always ended up in the bin. Thanks for sharing your lovely card (and fun post!) at Cardz 4 Guyz
