Is there such a thing as re-blinged? I had an offer come through from The Works which included a festive free gift of a book, wrapping paper or pack of cards, I decided to choose the cards as I thought Iris could make good use of them at Christmas to give to her friends.
Then.......I got to thinking, never a good thing, although the cards were plenty sparkly enough as they were, the robins would look even cuter if I gave them googly eyes ........
........ and then dear readers, I got completely carried away!
Not only did I give said robins each a pair of googly eyes, I also decided to give their hats "woolly" trims and bobbles using 3D Snow Effect .........
....... added a little Ranger Glossy Accents to make their little rosy cheeks glow .......
....... not forgetting adding gold stars on top of the original white ones in the background and my customary scattering of three blacks dots here and there. Talk about overkill! There's an awful lot of extra dimension and texture going on here! I'll be honest, if the cards had been smaller I would have been very tempted to use the whole front as a topper, mat and layering it on red and silver perhaps!
Iris will be getting nine of the ten cards as I have kept one back because I think if I cut the front in two I could have two toppers to possibly work with ...... I am not sure if the idea in my head will work out, but watch this space!

Your additions look fantastic! I think Iris will love them - especially now that they have googly eyes. I will definitely be watching this space to see what you do with that 10th card.
you need to get a job designing at the Works lol.... looking much better now
