With Love and Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Had a great day yesterday. It was getting dark by the time I got home so I will try and take some pics today and post them tomorrow. Of course, having most of the day off meant I had to work late last night instead - oh well!

Here's today's card - another sneak peek from the One Day Special I'm launching on Hochanda on Wednesday evening.

 For the background, I stamped the Justrite Autumn Swirls Background onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I trimmed it, edged it with CS Autumn Twinkles (just gorgeous!) and put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue Wilson's Swirly Vine Background Die Set, edged it with CS Autumn Twinkles and put aside to dry. I cut die #4 from the same set our of Black Card and dies #3 and #4 out of Antique Gold Pearl Card.

I made a flower out of Antique Gold Pearl Card using Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set and added a Small Black Circle Dazzler. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Olive Branch Die Set. I cut a couple of leaves out of Antique Gold Pearl Card using Sue's Swirly Leaf Trio Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm Black Pearl to the corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat. 

John Lockwood is continuing with a One Day Special on Hochanda today with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. I'm offering 10% discount on items I have in stock on my website from the shows. You can find them here. Discount applies till midnight tonight or while stocks last. Discount will be applied at checkout.

The winner of the card from Freebie Friday on November 25th is.................

Sue MacFall

    Just gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
    Love the rich colour from the gold embossing powder and the beautiful detail from the stamp.
    The two just go together perfectly.
