Woodware One Day Special on Hochanda this evening

Hi Bloggers.

I'm launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm with lots of fabulous Woodware Stamps. The one Day Special has a different format this time - you'll need to tune in to find out what that format is!

I have a two-fer for you today to tempt you 😊

Here's your first card -

I spritzed through the Droplets Mask using CS PM Vintage Blue Ink Spray Mist onto Coconut White Card - I used Phill Martin's in a box technique to get a nice fine mist. I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and inked around the edges with CS Clear Day Colour Cloud using a Smoothie.

I stamped the Submarine from the Woodware Mini Submarine Stamp Set onto Watercolour Card using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I coloured in using CS Essentials Watercolour Palette and a Water Brush. I cut it out using scissors leaving a thin white border around the edges.

I stamped the fish, sea horse and starfish from the Woodware Sweet Mermaid Stamp Set onto Watercolour Card, again using Versafine Ink. I coloured in using some more of the paints from the palette and cut them out as before.

I cut some sea weed out of Rich Green Card using Sue's Underwater Accessories and added them in groups to the bottom of my background. I added some Clear Perfect Medium to the bottom of my seascape. I added CS Sea Turtle Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder (as usual, very hard to pick up the sparkle and shimmer on a photo - I'll try and wiggle it for you on tv).

I stamped the sentiment that somes in the Mini Submarine Set onto Coconut White Card using Versafine Ink. I trimmed it with scissors, edged with Clear Day Colour Cloud and matted onto Black Card.

I assembled the card as shown, matting onto Black Card and then Coconut White Card.

Here's your second card - 

I started by creating a background based on a technique I found in Dyan Reaveley's Guide to Art Journalling Book. I used Watercolour Card. I spritzed it with water. I removed the nozzle from the CS PM Vintage Blue Ink Spray Mist and drew circles on the card, re-dipping for each circle. I misted with water again and then drew circles with CS Pastel Purple Chalk Mister in the same way. I misted with water once more and then drew circles with CS PM Old Gold Mister. I misted once more and then used the nozzle ends to flick some of the colours onto my background. I blotted with Kitchen Roll and put aside to dry.

Once dry, I stamped one of the flowers from the Woodware Fancy Flowers Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I also stamped the sentiment from the Woodware Posy Ring Stamp Set. I coloured the leaves on the image using CS Essentials Watercolour Palette using a Water Brush. I matted onto Black Card and then onto a Coconut White Card Blank.

I stamped the flower head from the flower onto Watercolour Card twice. I coloured them with more of the paint from the Watercolour Palette. I cut the centre section out using scissors. I cut the whole head out using Sue's Double Pierced Circles. I stacked these on top of my main image using CE Mounting Cushion.

I completed my card by adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner.
