Taking a short break from using fabric and decided to get back to basics by making a holiday card. The background and image are both holiday tissue paper adhered to cardstock with natural beeswax. I even added a layer of old sewing pattern tissue over the background to give it that aged look that I love. I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by my nest!
Take Care - Robin

Hi Robin,
Your holiday card is gorgeous. You always design the most unique treasures.
Thank you for stopping by. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. We are predicted for cold wintry weather tomorrow, but the last two days have been in the 80's here in North Texas. We are ready for colder days.
