Learn to Fly Again

For today's offering I have used another Visible Image stamp called Learn to Fly Again.

Once again I used the Pixie Powders onto a watercolour card, which also added additional texture to the card base.  I used the ancient copper and pewter which gave an amazing mix.

I heat embossed the wording and birds in black which made them pop a little more. 

I then layered the card up onto black cardstock which I cut using Sue Wilsons pierced squares.

The full recipe for this card is as follows:

Watercolour card

Black Foundation cardstock

Pewter & Ancient Copper Pixie Powders

Inkylicious stamp Learn to Fly Again

Black embossing powder

I am off on a workshop with Julia Watts on Saturday so should have lots of new offerings soon.

Hope you like it!

Until next time

Visible Image cards

Well today's post is something a little different, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed doing these cards.

I recently purchased some stamps from Visible Image as I absolutely love some of their sayings/quotes.  I decided to mix these up a bit with the pixie powders as I really need a bit more practice using them.  Well I got all messy and really enjoyed myself!

This is the first card I made. I used the purple violet and peacock green Pixie Powders, with the 'Live in the Moment' stamp set.  I heat embossed with Creative Expressions black detail embossing powder.

The second card I used the sun yellow and scarlet mist Pixie Powders and the 'Vision Inkognito Set' again by Visible Image.  Once again I heat embossed with Creative Expressions black detail embossing powder.

On both cards I used the Sue Wilson Pierced Squares for my mats and layers, and I thought the black set off the embossed areas really nicely.

It is a shame that you cannot see the shimmer from the Pixie Powders and the texture from the embossing powder, as they really do look impressive, even if I say so myself!

I think I might find myself doing more work with the pixie powders as you can get so many different effects with them.  Watch this space!

Until next time, take care and please feel free to leave a comment when you visit my page.
