Frosty Mink - Christmas Greetings

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope for those of you who have  been fortunate enough to watch Phill's live shows on HOCHANDA today have enjoyed them so far.

The next show is 4.00pm and the last show for today is 7.00pm


Today's card is one from the show, which Phill did a variation of for one of his demo's.

For those of you who wish to replicate this, listed below are all the products used which can all be found on Phill's Website    www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

8 x 8 Card Blank
White Card Stock
Frosty Mink P.V.A.
Frosty Mink Twinkles
Frosty Mink Gilding Wax
Frosty Mink Sparkle Texture Paste
Christmas Holly Sentiment Border Stamps
Cosmic Shimmer Ancient Copper Embossing Powder
Dazzlers
Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice
Tracery 6 x 6 Mask
Sue Wilson Dies - Classic Poinsettia
Sue Wilson Dies - Mosaic Poinsettia
Sue Wilson Dies Portuguese Collection - Lisbon
Sue Wilson Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder

This is how I created it:-

Because of the drying time I started by using the Tracery Mask and Frosty Mink Texture Paste, as this needed about 2 hours to dry.

8 x 8 Card Blank
The first layer I cut to 7.75 square and edged it with Frosty Mink Gilding Wax and attached flat to the card.
The next layer I cut to 7.5 square and embossed it with the Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder, and attached flat to the card.

Sentiment

Making sure the texture paste was completely dry I then cut this out using the Lisbon Die and attached to the card using foam pads.

Next I  cut a strip of white card to 1.5" wide and stamped the Sentiment using one of the Border Stamps and heat embossed it with Ancient Copper Embossing Powder before embossing it with the Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder to match the background. Than added this to the card.

Finishing Touches

Next I cut the Poinsettias out and shaped these before attaching to the card. I then edged the petals with Cosmic Shimmer Glue and Glacier Ice, and finished with a Dazzler to the centres.
 Frosty Mink Twinkles were then used around the small die in the centre .
Finally I used Frosty Mink P.V.A. in the centres of each snowflake.

New Cosmic Shimmer Colour, Reveal no.4 - Frosty Mink

Good Evening Everyone

Sorry it's late,.. busy day,.. back at Creative Expressions HQ for a retailer workshop and busy as soon as I got home (you know me!)

As promised, here is the reveal of my new Cosmic Shimmer Colour no.4, which is,.. Frosty Mink :-)

Another lovely colour, in my humble opinion, a lovely mid brown/beige tone that has a vintage, dusky look,.., the colour is also reflected in the new Frosty Christmas Holly Paper and Insert Pads too :-)

I must confess, this is probably (along with Frosty Jade and Frosty Heather) my favourite!

It's an 8x8, the same as the others (are you bored with them yet?!) lol :-)

I've done the exact same card in all 6 new colour ways, it's my favourite way of showing you how different they all look :-)

Here's the card

And here's your close up 

Hope you like it!

Only two more colours to go :-)

Happy Crafting!
