Here's today's card -
I misted with water and sprinkled a little Midnight Blue and Golden Mint Pixie Powder over. I used a Brush to spread the colour over the area, going from side to side. This is a really simple resist technique but with the Pixie Powders, you never know quite what you're going to get. Really cool!
Once dry, I added a little Golden Mint Pixie Powder to a Palette and used a Water Brush to make into a paint. I painted the leaves with this.
I added some Midnight Blue Pixie Powder to another well in my Palette, made a paint and used it to colour the 'bubbles' on the flowers. I cut die #4 from the same die set out of Black Card and popped into a Coconut White Card Blank.
I finished my card adding some CS Clear Varnish Lacquer to the 'bubbles' on the flowers.
The new Ranger Distress Oxide Pads are now in stock - Lisa Horton and I are VERY excited about these. I haven't got a deep stock yet - don't say I didn't warn you 😊. You can find them on my website here. Here's a video by Tim Holtz which explains a bit more about them -
