Hello lovelies and Happy New year - woohoo it's 2021!!
I thought I'd share a card I made using the new Tonic Studios Decadent Swirls Showcase set of dies. Now this is a set and a half - so much in it.
I've also done a video which shows you the dies, some ideas for using them and a tutorial where we put one together.
You can find that here -

Apols for the quality of the video btw - I had had a stinker of a cold and I'm not at my finest should we say lol.
I used a glitter marker to paint the detail with, but not in the usual way though.
What I did was scribble a bit on my mat then added a tiny drop of water and then picked it with a paintbrush. Then once it was dry. I added a bit of gold embellishment mousse over the top.
I should just say that I cut the detail out of watercolour card - it's better if you are going to add any kind of medium I've found.
The middle bit of the card - the centre that look blue and grey - was cut from watercolour card and then spritzed with Nuvo Peacock Plume Sparkle Spray. It's heavenly stuff and the colour is so rich and a little goes a very long way.
I spritzed the card with the spray then repeated just using plain old water. It dilutes the colour in places and gives a beautiful effect I think.
The little gemstones I used are Tonic but they are quite old now (a bit like me lol) and they are no longer stocked by Tonic, but you can get them on Amazon etc, or you could just substitute them with Nuvo Drops or other little gems.
Right I better be off.
I hope you are managing to stay safe and well and healthy and I'll see you again son. Until then, take care and crafty hugs to all xx
Take care and stay safe and well xx
