Ethereal Man

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. Another thing, here is a 30% off voucher to use on your first order (anything) from Hochanda, use code FEY5JBP7.

Morning everyone, Hope you all had a great weekend. Time for another Sneak Peek of a card I have made for the brand new Create a Card dies being launched on Hochanda by Crafters Companion. Counting down the days now until the big day on Friday 26th May. I am sure the show will be full of inspiration, so I hope you will be tuning in.

I will be sharing step by steps for the cards I have been making with these great dies, so I hope you will join me after the launch for these. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Super New Launch Next Friday (26th May)

Morning, I have a nice surprise for you today, a full "SNEAK PEEK" on my blog. Crafters Companion are launching these Super New Create a Card dies next week, so here is one of the cards I have made for the show. I really hope you will be tuning in to Hochanda to see them in action.

I have to admit I have never used anything like this before. However they have been wonderful to work with. Having the ability to make a special card base at home with whatever card stock you like. It's fantastic, once you have cut the card the FUN really begins, The Decorating. I will be sharing Step by steps after the launch, so please keep your eyes peeled. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Sneaky Peak for Leonie's Shows Tomorrow

Hi Everyone. Here is a Sneaky Peak of a Card I made for Leonie's Shows Tomorrow. I am treating you to a full Peek rather than a little teaser. Leonie is kicking off the day on Hochanda at 7 am, so set those alarm clocks. She will also be live at 10 am, 2 pm and 5 as well as her wonderful Let Leonie Loose show. Poor lady, what a day of inspiration and fun for us all though.

Thank you ever so much for taking a look,  more in the morning. I will be adding Step by Steps as before as well as catching up with some of the cards I haven't shared yet. Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx
