Christmas card repeat.  Ugh! More seepage but this time I can live with it.  Phew! I'm running out of time and want to get them in the mail soon.  I did do the white gouache flick but thought it was a bit anemic so I added the glitter again, it's a Christmas card after all!! 

I've discarded the tape I was using and will revert back to my usual medical paper bandage tape.  It seems to get into the crevices of the cold press paper better and works well on hot press as well (after applying it to the back of my hand several times to remove a bit more of the sticky factor that could cause the hot press paper to lift upon removal)!!
