Today Im filming does You Tube videos for Creative Expressions on the new Cosmic Shimmer projects with the wonderful Julia Watts! Julia will be demoing how to us the new Pixie Powder which I juts Love so I couldn't resist a quick peak at one of the cards I made with these fab new Products.
I teamed a piece of watercolour paper covered in the Midnight Blue powder with my Primrose Everyday sentiments and daisy trail heart stamps.
i wet half a sheet of watercolour card whilst testing the new powders. I then 'shot' the midnight blue over the card however it only stained the card where it was wet leaving a trail of the different colours within the product and a mica coating. The Powders all have Mica in them which leaves a stunning sheen and shine along with the intense colours.
I+Next I stamped over the edge of the coloured section using the largest of the individual primrose stamps own my primrose elements et in Cobalt archival ink. I then continued with the remainder of the white paper using increasingly smaller flowers.I the added a stamped image of the daisy daisy heart and one of the heart sentiments ion the centre. I finished with a double thin satin ribbon bow and a few layers of white and cobalt.
Ill let you all know when the videos are ready and live!
Enjoy...
Morning John, a fabulous card and these powders look amazing looking forward to the video.

Good morning John is this powder similar to Brusho? Sounds as if it is and yes you get wonderful effects with it but with the mica addition no doubt get some further interesting effects. Love from Jackie xx

Not sure I like that vivid bright blue. I'll be interested to see the video though. I think you should do a video showing the metallic gilding polish as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the card John looks like we are in for a treat with the new products gutted about hochanda think it must be only me who won't be able to watch it as no one else has commented
ReplyDeleteThank you John love always June Horrocks xxxxx
Wow this is stunning John. I love that vivid blue powder, might have to have some of that! Looking forward to the videos on this. Your stamps are lovely too.

Hi John
ReplyDeleteOn very card today using the new Pixie Dust. As we now can't watch Hochanda, I'll be looking forward to watching the video.
Hi John
ReplyDeleteThis card looks amazing. Cannot wait to see your video's
I too am furious that I can no longer watch Hochanda on Freeview. I only found out about it yesterday and if the powers that be think I will be watching from 12am to 4am, they are sadly wrong.
I will have to be more organised now and watch via my computer. Not the same as viewing your shows on the television though.
Lol Barbara W xx
Hi John, I'm with the furious people... and not sure whether I shall be watching on my PC as that is in a cold room of the house. Hopefully this latest cold spell will be over soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your card today, that blue is AMAZING!
Hugs, Rose

Beautiful card John. I am still waiting to find out where I can buy your seasons sentiments. I have Dec. Jan and Feb - need the spring lot, but can't find them yet. I cant buy from Hochanda, they dont sell overseas, and I live in Ireland.
