OMG, I MADE A CARD!

Obviously I haven't made any cards lately. I have been checking out some of my favorite blogs though and when I saw that Christy from Tiddly Inks  was giving a couple of freebies in exchange for making a B-day card for a friend of hers I decided to participate cause her images are sooo cute!

 

She said that her friend loved the color combo of black, white and red so I found these CTMH papers in my stash and got to work.  I really like how this turned out so I think I will make a couple more for two of my sisters who have B-days coming up.

Thanks so much for hangin' with me and I hope you will stop back for tomorrows installment of refurbish it friday!

REFURBISH IT FRIDAY!

Happy Friday to you all! Welcome back to the second installment of FIF.  If you are totally lost check out LAST WEEK'S RIF HERE.

I picked up some  up some Burnt Umber and Antique White paint at Joanns and grabbed my trusty foam brush.  I got the Ceramcoat cause it was on sale.  If you have suggestions about paint let me know if there is a better choice.

This was after the first coat.  Not pretty I know but I refused to get discouraged!

After three coats, not bad.  Still a little streaky but I am covering it with the antique white so it shouldn't matter.

I only managed to get one coat of the antique white on for this post.

Except for the top which has three coats.  Big difference between the two wouldn't you say?  I can't wait to get home from work tonight and get the other coats on so I can begin the distressing.  I will show you that next week!
Have a great weekend!
