Chase Your Dreams

Hi Bloggers.

I have a card featuring some brand new products today - I've been using up some of my demo bits from the recent Trade Show.

For my background, I misted a piece of Coconut White Card with water and sprinkled a little CS Golden Mint Pixie Powder over. I added more water to diffuse the colour and put aside to dry. Once dry, I inked through the new Matrix Mask with Basil Leaf CS Colour Cloud using a Smoothie, moving the mask down to cover the whole area. I gave the ink a few minutes to settle and then inked around the edges. I gave this a couple of minutes to dry and then dusted with an Anti-Static Bag. I ran the edges through a Clear Perfect Medium Ink Pad, added new Everglades CS Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set.

I stamped the new Woodware Paris Collage onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Everglades Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue Wilson's Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B and inked around the edges with Basil Leaf Colour Cloud. I matted onto Black Card and added some 3mm Black Pearls.

For the long heart panel, I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card using an Anti-Static Bag. I inked up the new Lots of Love Mask with Clear Perfect Medium. I placed the mask, inked side up onto my Platinum platform, then my card (dusted side down), my tan mat then my embossing plate and ran through the machine. I added Everglades Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set. I cut it down into 2 hearts wide and trimmed a little off a row from the top and added to my background. I wrapped a piece of May Arts Sheer Iridescent Ribbon around to hide the join. I matted onto Black Card and added to a Coconut White Card blank.

I added my Paris Collage using 1mm Foam Tape. I tied a bow from more of the ribbon and added another bow of Black Twine with a Craft Consortoim Charm.

I stamped the sentiment from the new Woodware Warm Fuzzy Greetings Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Everglades Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I trimmed it down, inked around the edges with Basil Leaf Colour Cloud and matted onto Black Card. The heart embellishment is left over from my UTEE shows on Hochanda in December. Basically, I lit the tea lights in the EFCO Enamel Pot. I added some CS Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals to a pie dish and popped it on the hot plate. Once moulten, I added more Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals in Bright Gold and Malachite Fire. I popped a small heart cookie cutter onto the Creative Expressions Feather Background. Once my UTEE was moulten, I poured it into the cookie cutter. I removed it after a few minutes. I added it to my sentiment panel securing with CS Glue.

Lisa Horton is launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm with some more of her lovely new stamp designs and introducing her new Pop-ems to co-ordinate.
