Many Happy Returns

Hi Bloggers.

Had a great workshop yesterday at CE HQ. My last workshop of the year is at Yardley Gobion (just outside Milton Keynes) this Saturday. For more details, see the Workshop Page of this Blog or visit my website here.

Here's today's card which features some of the products that I have on the One Day Special that I'm launching on Hochanda on November 30th -

For the background, I stamped one of the leaf stamps from the Stamps to Die For Zentangled Leaves onto Black Card several times using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. I coloured in with all 6 of the latest CS Pixie Powders - Aubergine Dream, Pale Olive, Emerald Green, Straw Yellow, Burnt Orange and Spearmint. I added a little of the powders to separate wells in a Palette and used my Water brush to add water to them and paint in sections of the leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set onto Black Card and embossed with CS Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Pierced Flags and cut a larger die in the set out of Antique Gold Pearl Card.

For the flower, I randomly painted the Pixie Powder colours onto a piece of Black Card. I then cut 2 sizes of dies from Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set twice. I cut the centres die from the set out of Antique Gold Card. I added a Black 5mm Pearl to the centre.

I cut a 3 leaves from Sue's Swirly Leaf Trio out of Antique Gold Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding more Black Pearls to the corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat. 

Thanks for stopping by.
