Whisper of Wings

Hi Bloggers.

I'm running a couple of workshops up at Creative Expressions HQ today. 2 full sessions and some lovely projects so should be a good day.

Here's today's card -

The background is misted with CS Pixie Powders. I popped some water into a couple of empty mister bottles. I puffed some Peacock Green Pixie Powder into one and some Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powder into the other (you don't need much). I gave them a shake and misted them onto my Coconut White Card, allowing the first one to dry before adding the second.

Once completely dry, I dusted with my anti static bag and them stamped the image from the Justrite Whisper of Wings Stamp Set many times using Cobalt Archival, adding CS Clear Embossing Powder after stamping each one. I heat set them all. I tapped a little Peacock Green Pixie Powder into a palette, added a teeny bit of water and painted the tops of the feathers as shown using a Water Brush. It's necessary to emboss images when painting with a mica based product, otherwise you lose the definition of the image.

I misted another piece of card with my misters and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a Justrite Vintage Labels 10 Die. I cut the next size die out of Emerald Card. I cut a Justrite Stitched A2 Banners & Rectangles Die out of Cobalt Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

My next workshop in Milton Keynes is on Saturday 16th April. It's a masks masterclass packed full of techniques using these fabulous inexpensive pieces of equipment and yes, we will be using the new Pixie Powders! You can book via my website here.
