Woodware One Day Special on Hochanda this evening

Hi Bloggers.

I'm launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm with the first selection from the brand new stamps from Woodware designed by Jane Gill and Francoise Read. Hope you can join me.

Here's today's card with something new that you can do with your Pixie Powders -

I started by dusting a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate with an Anti-Static Bag. I stamped the main image and the sentiment from the Woodware Mosaic Butterfly Round using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS Black Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I turned the acetate over and worked on the back. I popped a little CS Clear Lacquer Varnish onto my Craft Sheet and mixed in a little CS Midnight Blue Pixie Powder using a Brush. I then coloured in sections of the image as shown - it seems to work better if you dab the colour on rather than brush it on in strokes. It takes a while to dry so when I demo this card, I'll do it across several shows. Once the blue was dry, I repeated the process with Mango Blaze, Plum Twist and Golden Mint Pixie Powders.

Once dry, I turned my image over to the front and I think you can see that the raised embossed edge makes it look like real stained glass. You can see the embossed card through it. If I had worked on the front, I may have coloured over the lines and so lost the lovely crisp finish.

I cut a frame out of Coconut White and Black Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added my frame to my image using 2mm 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess acetate.

I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Aztec Flowers Embossing Folder. I added my frame and image to my embossed background using 1mm 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess. I popped this onto a Coconut White Card mat.

Quite a simple card but you do need to be patient whle the Lacquer dries!

I'm offering 10% discount on items I have on my website from the shows. You can find them here. Offer applies till midnight tomorrow night or while stocks last. Discount will be applied at checkout.

See you later!
