Pixie Powders One Day Special tonight

Hi Bloggers.

The Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders One Day Special starts on Hochanda this evening at 8pm. I hope you can join me.

Pixie Powders are a die power mixed with mica powder so unlike other products that are on the market, they give you a gorgeous shimmer as well as an explosion of colour. Because there is mica in them they work beautifully on Black Card as you can see here -

By the way, I have used a bunch of dies and stamps that have recently been on Hochanda so you can see how the powders will work with products you may already have.

For the background, I misted a piece of Coconut White Card (yes, not Watercolour Card on this one) and then added Pixie Powders in Scarlet Mist, Mango Blaze and Golden Mint. Once completely dry, I ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Eternal Ivy Embossing Folder. I sanded it with a sanding block to reveal the core.

I stamped the sunflower from the Justrite Sunflowers Vintage Labels Five Stamp Set onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medum and embossed with CS True White Detail Embossing Powder. I popped a little of the 3 Pixie Powders that I used on my background into separate sections of my Mixing Palette. Using my Waterbrush, I added a little water to each and made into a paint. I painted the image as shown. Once dry, I cut out using a die from the Justrite Stitched A2 Banners & Rectangles Die Set.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with the True White Powder. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite Vintage Labels Five Dies.

I made some flowers using the Spellbinders Lacework Button Flowers Die Set out of Black Card and a little leftover card from my background. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue Wilson's Delicate Fronds Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Black Circle Dazzlers and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

I'm offering 10% discount on items I have in stock from the ODS shows. You can find them here. Offer applies till midnight tomorrow night.

Thanks for stopping by.
