Pixie Peony...

Happy Sunday,

Its my Last day at the SECC craft show in glasgow today I have to stay I have had a fabulous time and meet so many lovely people!  Tomorrow I will be demoing my new Stamp Range as well as new cosmic shimmer and SW die range at McOyster Crafts in Fife form 930 till 3pm, my last day in Scotland.

I thought today I would share a different project made with the same peony stamp as I used on yesterdays card.  This time its a canvas but its really easy to do as its all made with pixie powders.

I stamped the peony and heat embossed it with detail black embossing powder.  I then mastered off the stamped image and added straw yellow pixie powder to the rest on the canvas.  I then lightly sprinted the canvas with water to activate the pixie powders.

I then overstepped the knotted woodgrain stamp over the masked image using a sepia ink pad.

Next I used candy Pink pixie powder to colour the peony adding white pearl to the mix to shed the colours by mixing with water in a palette and using a water brush to paint the flower.

Enjoy...

Something Different Sunday...

Happy Sunday,

something different for today's post and a sneak peak of one of the demos I have prepped for next weeks shows on Hochanda which start at 8pm on Tuesday.

I cut the upper case Art Deco alphabet die twice across a square of pearl card.  The best thing about this die is that the whole alphabet is on the one die meaning you don't need to choose which letters you want to use and cut them separately.  This also means that you have a negative piece as I have used her.

Once I removed all the letters I added the square top a piece of double sided adhesive adhered to another piece of icicle pearl foundations card.  Next I cut the font die again in ruby foundation card and selected the L O V E and U dies and placed them back into the corresponding sections.  I then simply added Midnight snow to the exposed adhesive which gives a really bright yet dark shine.

I added layers of graphite, steel and Ruby pearl card and then simply mounted the piece into a box frame.


A different piece of wall art that, once the shows are over, will look great in my Craft Cave!

Enjoy...
