Hi Bloggers.
Thank you gor all your good wishes yesterday. The migraines are at bay, still a bit tender but manageable. I do know my food triggers and I hadn't had any of those, I think I was just a bit stressed. I did go to see Beauty and the Beast at the cinema on Monday night - highly recommended if you love a good Disney musical. Made better by knowing all the words to the songs - though I did not embarass myself by singing along!
Here's today's card -
I started by spritzing a piece of
Coconut White Card with water. I then sprinkled
Plum Twist and
Golden Mint CS Pixie Powder over the surface and out aside to dry. Once dry, I dusted with an Anti-Static Bag and stamped the
Woodware Paris Collage using
Clear Perfect Medium. I embossed with
CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a die from
Sue Wilson's Essential Rectangles Die Set and inked around the edges with Plum Cobbler CS Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I popped it onto a mat of
Black Card.
For the background, I popped a little of the same 2 Pixie Powders onto a piece of copy paper and rubbed the
Woodware Memories Stamp into the powder. I misted the stamp with water and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I repeated this process 4 times to completely cover my background. I inked around the edges with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud. I matted onto Black Card and onto a Card Blank.
I stamped the sentiment from the
Woodware Warm Fuzzy Greetings onto a piece of my Pixie Powder background using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using another die from Sue's Essential Rectangles Die Set. I meant to ink around the edges but forgot 😒. I matted onto Black Card.
I completed my card, adding a
5mm Black Pearl to each corner.

Morning Julia. I hope you are better today. This is the sort of card that I never pluck up the courage to try. I still haven't bought any Pixi powders! I really must give it a go, as this is another stunning card and shows their versatility after what you did with them yesterday as well.

Good Morning Julia, so glad to hear your feeling better and its more than likely that stress is the main factor for your headaches, I find they are mine but also I dont know maybe its hormone to thought at my age 74 thats a bit late.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia, love the card today, it was real fun to play with the pixie powders on Saturday. Will have to get some more lighter colours at Ally Pally. Do try to take it easy in between shows and classes, I know not an easy thing to do but try. Glad you feeling little better.

Hi Julia, glad to hear the migraines have settled down. They can be so frustrating - mine usually give me squiffy vision (without the alcohol - I know! I'm a cheap date, LOL). I love this card, but I am with Craftynetty - I'm too chicken to have a go yet ..... :-)
ReplyDeleteSo love the "arty"look. Nearly added another word! Lol
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, Gorgeous card !! I had to chuckle at your write-up about not singing the songs at the cinema hahaha.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling a little better.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Julia this is a gorgeous work of art.

Beautiful Card Julia. So glad you are feeling much better. Though I don't suffer myself I know Migraines are horrid. X
