1000 facts, Just sayin!!!

In popular culture

 With LIM going for the 1000 submissions, I thought you might like to know a few '1000 facts' I gleaned these little beauties from Wikipedia, I ramble, apologies:0)
Here is another card for LIM33

I used Viva Decor Gold paint no 909 which is so shiny and a surprisingly good surface to stamp onto with Stazon black ink that is:0) The stamp is from a sheet of HIT stamps, I've had them for ages and this is the first time I've used one. I love vintage Christmas, that and sparkle mmmm perfect LOL My golden pearls are from Deborah's candy, oh lucky me! Aren't they swish!!:0)

    A really beautiful and unusual Christmas card and Susan's right - a painted background looks so easy but is quite tricky! Love the 1000 facts - keep going! (Oh the things we do to get out of the ironing!) Vx

    The gold splash of ink looks fabulous. (Not sure I am brave enough to just paint/spray randomly and then stamp on top but I am going to give it a try later on with an idea that's been in my head since yesterday. If it works it will be another LIM entry...if not, it will be in the bin!!)
