Hugs And Kisses

 Good Sunday morning all!  I thought you might like a close up look at one of the demos from the previous shows.  I had a lot of fun making the background for this one by using the new Pixie Powders for a bit of a twist on an old technique; Caught in Crystal!  I started with a piece of acetate and spread Cosmic Lacquer on it.  Next I tapped my three Pixie Powders (Lava Red, Candy Pink and Rich Gold) on to the lacquer.  For the actual sample, I used a bit more powder than I did on the demo due to time constraints.  I added a piece of tissue paper that I had crinkled up, then opened back up.  Use some kitchen roll to tamp it down and leave it to dry overnight.  Then you can cut it with a paper cutter to whatever size you need.   I used the Jubilee Striplet and cut six across a piece of coconut white card to create a decorative background and mounted my caught in (Pixie Powder)crystal piece behind it.  I cut the Hugs die in both white and black, then used the "and kisses" plaque to cut into the H on the white one.  I offset the black hugs behind it slightly and added mounting foam to raise both of them, then mounted them in the centre of the card.  I decided to leave it very clean and simple, but a few flowers would have been pretty on it too.  Definitely your call on that one!  The card was completed with a white, black , white mat combo and some paper piercing as well.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  7 1/2" in size.
