Hi Bloggers.
As promised, I have a sneak peek for you today from the shows I have on Hochanda on Thursday.
This is a very simple card, suitable for batch making - you may as well use the stamps several times while they have glue on them.
I used a piece of Black Card. I popped some CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to 'ink up' the stamps I wanted to use. I only added glue to the stamps when I was ready to used them. I stamped them, leaving the stamp on the card no longer that 3 seconds. I popped the stamps into a bowl of water as I finished with them. I find this is the best way to clean the stamps.
I added CS Warm Sunrise Gilding Flakes to my stamped scene. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.
I dusted my card with an Anti-Static Pad. I edged with a Clear Perfect Medium Pen using my Tim Holtz Ruler. I added CS Black Mirage Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set using a Low Speed Heat Tool. I matted onto Antique Gold Pearl Card and then popped onto a Milk Card blank.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I edged with Clear Perfect Medium Pen and embossed with CS Black Mirage BS EP. I matted onto Antique Gold Pearl Card and added to my card.
I'll be doing my very best to catch up with all my website orders today. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia Lovely Christmas card gilding flakes are alsways a winner. Julia I'm devastated now I have my computer back it seems that your recent Hochanda shows are not on the rewind programmes there seems to be none between 30th July and 15th August! I do hope they will put them on rewind soon as I really want to see them!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I must try this 1-2-3 technique again
ReplyDeleteLovely card that someone who is religious would be delighted to receive at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHave treated myself to a satellite recorder box so can can now set your shows to record and watch on a large screen rather than the iPad. Just about to set the r cord status!
