Morning Friends and Crafters. I am so excited to share the first sneak peek of a sample I have made for my very first Hochanda Show on Thursday 1 st November at 4 pm. I am so proud of the collection I have put together, so I do hope you will tune in and support me, I am bound to be full of nerves. The project I am sharing today is such an easy way to create your piece using just a stencil from the collection.
You will need:
Xander Stencil
Words or Sentiment of your choice
Infusions: Royal Blood, A bit Jaded, Rusty Car and Blackcurrant.
Water Spritzer
Versamark
White or Clear Embossing Powder
Watercolour Card
Black Card
White Card
Anti static Bag
Step 1: Wipe your watercolour card with the anti static bag.
Step 2: Ink through the stencil with Versamark, add the embossing powder and heat. Sprinkle with Infusions and spritz with water. In some areas, I really flooded the card to get some really nice flowing patterns. Leave to dry naturally.
Step 3: Layer onto black card and then mount onto white card.
Step 4: Create a background sheet using the same colour infusions, once dry mount your design.
I have added this to my journal, but it would work equally well as a really nice greeting card,adding one of the word or sentiment stamps to suit the occasion. It would also make a nice piece of art to frame and hang on your wall.
Thank you ever so much for joining me today, It's been a real pleasure to share this with you today. I am nervous and excited but more importantly I am passionate about this collection and I hope you will share this enthusiasm. It's been a long time coming and getting it right and at last it's just as I wanted. I have a post going live tomorrow on the Hochanda Blog so do keep a look out for it.

I love this Nick, looks like a real work of art with that great background and the Zander stencil looks fantastic. Can't wait to see you demonstrate them x
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, I am so pleased you like it. I really enjoyed drawing Xander, I used to have hair like this when I was about 18 so it took me back a while, I had blue highlights in the front. Had great fun here with the colour. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the show.xx
DeleteSo excited for your show!! This looks great, and I'm so looking forward to seeing your demo's!! xx

Thank you Nicola I had almost forgotten to even mention about the stencil and how much I loved drawing it, Had to draw it as whole and then gradually take more and more away, add bits take it etc to get it right for the jobs I wanted to do for craters. I also had great fun with the colours on this one too.You're welcome as always, it's always a pleasure and I have to thak you for your wonderful comments every day.xx
