One Day Special on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas Day. I'm launching a One Day Special on Hochanda at 6pm today with some lovely Background Dies by Sue Wilson. The shows will be packed with as many techniques as I can get into them so I hope you can tune in today or tomorrow. Shows are at 6pm and 8pm today and then 9am, 1pm and 5pm tomorrow.

Here's today's card -

I started by cutting the largest die in the New York Background into a piece of Black Card - it really doesn't matter what colour card it is as I've used it as a mask on this card.

I popped my mask on top of a piece of Coconut White Card. I picked some Blue Boy CS Acrylic Mixed Media Paint up onto a Stencil Brush and stencilled through my mask. Keeping my mask in place, I stencilled through the remaining areas with Twilight Purple CS Acrylic Mixed Media Paint.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using the Double Pierced Background Rectangle Die Set. I added it to my background using Woodware Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess. I matted onto Coconut White Card, Black Card and another piece of Coconut White Card.

 I stampd the sentiment from the Woodware Bubble Bloom Border Stamp Set using Manganese Blue Archival. I cut if out using die #1 from the New York Background Die Set and cut the next sized die out of Black Card.

I sprayed a piece of felt with CS Frosty Sky Ink Spray Mist. Once dry, I made a couple of flowers using the Classic Foldover Flowers Die Set.

I cut some foliage out of Coconut White Card using the Blossoming Branch Die Set. I painted a piece of Coconut White Card with Purple Twilight Mixed Media Paint and cut the tiny flowers in the same die set out of it. I did try and use up my scraps of leftover Acetate but on this occasion it would not cut - the acetate will cut simple dies, it depends on what's on it. I added CS Crystal Sparkle PVA to the centre of my tiny flowers.

I'm offering 10% discount on items on my website from the shows. You can find them here. Please enter JULIAWATTS in the discount code box at checkout to activate your discount. Offer applies till midnight tomorrow night.
