					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year to you and your family! Let&#8217;s kicking off the 2017 with some creative challenges! I created a mixed media card with some embossing paste, embossing powder, watercoloring and die-cutting.</p>
<p><a title="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett1" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/31152630113/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c2.staticflickr.com/1/412/31152630113_53fe6ec976_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett1" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>Hero Arts products I used on my card today are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Potted Succulent stamp &amp; frame cut</li>
<li>Thanks Stamp &amp; Cut</li>
<li>Petal Stencil Pair</li>
</ul>
<p>To create the background, I added the Ranger Texture paste on the canson watercolor paper using the one of the Petal Stencil Pair set, then I added the Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder while the paste still wet and set aside to dry while I was working on the potted succulent and die cut.</p>
<p><a title="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett2" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/31925175536/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c1.staticflickr.com/1/529/31925175536_b72a12a249_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett2" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>I stamped and die cut the Potted Succullent. Then I watercolor it with Spectrum Aqua markers. Then I added some glitter using the Spectrum Noir Sparkle clear glitter brush.</p>
<p>Next, I die cut the word thanks out of Black cards stock and black fun foam for extra dimension.</p>
<p>Before I added the watercolored Potted Succulent and sentiment die cut on the card, I heat set the embossing powder using craft heater. I pre-heated the heater for 15 seconds then run it over the card. It was fun to watch the embossing powder melt on top of the embossing paste <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Once it is done, I added  the embellishments with liquid glass glue.</p>
<p><a title="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett3" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/31845412191/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c8.staticflickr.com/1/637/31845412191_af5ddb6acf_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="a2z-jan2017-challenge-helengullett3" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>I also stamped the inside card with the sentiment from the Thanks Stamp &amp; Cut set. That finished my card for today. Don&#8217;t forget to check out<strong> <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/a2zscrapbooking">a2z Scrapbooking Store</a> </b></strong>for your crafting supplies and deals, also take extra 15% OFF your order of $25 or more by using this code: <strong>Helen15</strong> when you check out!</p>
