One Day Special on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

Today's the day when I launch a new One Day Special on Hochanda with Festive Dies from Sue Wilson. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you can join me.

Here's today's card -

I started by creating my caught in crystal style background. I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I added CS Glue, spritzed with water and spread the glue all over using my finger. I then added Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders in Peacock Green, Lava Red and Rich Gold so that all the glue was covered. I spritzed with a little more water and then added CS Aurora Sparkle Diamond Frost. I scrunched up a piece of White Tissue Paper, opened it out and added it to my background. I dabbed it down using a piece of Kitchen Roll and put aside to dry.

I cut die #1 from Sue Wilson's Poinsettia Star into a piece of Milk Card several times.

Once my Caught in Crystal background was dry, I glued my Poinsettia Star background to it. I made a frame out of Milk Card using Sue's Doubled Piercd Squares Set B. I added it to my backgrounds using 2mm Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess. I matted onto a couple of pieces of Milk Card.

I stamped the sentiment from Creative Expressions Santa's Sentiments Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags.

I cut the outer die from Sue's Poinsettia Cluster out of Milk Card. I cut the inner flower die out of some more of my Caught in Crystal Background. I added a Cream 5mm Pearl to centre of each flower.

I completed my card by adding an 8mm Cream Pearl to each corner of my frame.
