I started out by playing with my new Lindy Magicals that I got for Christmas. Hubby got me quite a few things on my wish list. This was on it because of Mac Mable (The Sweetest of Peas). She has done some AMAZING colouring with these little pots of powder. Thanks for enabling me Mac!!
Since I've used something new to me, I'm sharing this card at AAA Challenge #106 - Quote - my second entry.
I used two colours for the background - tibetan poppy teal and ponderosa pines olive. I sprinkled just a little powder, spritzed with water and then covered it with a piece of cling wrap. I used my hands to move the colour around and scrunch up the cling wrap. Once dry, I removed the plastic and a very subtle but pretty design was left where the colours pooled around the creases.
I used a harlequin stencil to add a bit of glass bead gel on the right hand side of the background. I die-cut the white daisy and sponged the tips and center with Peacock Feathers distress ink. I was inspired by Izzy's beautiful card. I added a colourful rain stone to the center for a pop of colour. The sentiment is stamped in silver Delicata ink.
My CAS design has magical powders used with cling wrap technique, stenciling with glass bead gel, die-cut, sponging and stamping.
Still lots of time to play along at CAS Mix Up January Challenge - Cling Wrap!

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Loll!! Are these magical powders similar to Brusho's or Color Burst powders? I really love the harlequin design with the glass bead gel too...makes for such a lovely background for your single bloom! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Hi Marcia. They come in powder form, like Brushos. But they have a shimmer to them that is beautiful. You do get colour variations with these powders that is so pretty, but not the same multi-colour variations as Brushos. I love these and will be getting more. xx
Oh WOW, Loll, what a stunning card! The panel is beautiful. I'll have to check out the Lindy Magicals. xx
Every time I see one of your cards I think oh wow this one is my favourite ....well this one is definitely my favourite of all Lol Absolutely beautiful...the colour, that gorgeous flower and then the stunning stone centre ...I'm drooling !
Hugs Kaz xx
This is jaw dropping beautiful!! I love the pop of color against the white so elegant!! I hope your friend is recovering well.

I love the blue and green palette, my friend! That bit of glass bead gel is a fun touch and the sponged flower is the perfect adornment! I'm sure it did bring joy to your friend!
Gorgeous Magical powder colors blend, Loll. Love how your cling wrap background turned out and how you added the harlequin stenciling with your glass beads.
Your sponged die cut daisy is so pretty and adds wonderful dimension to your CAS card design. TFS my friend. Hugs...

Going to visit a friend for some crafty time (10 days Yay)soon and she has magicals so will be playing with hers for sure. Love the glass bead gel stenciling. Beautiful colour choices and that daisy looks stunning with that beautiful centre.
This turned out beautifully - I love the bit of harlequin stenciling to balance with the flower. And the colours of the Magicals are fabulous!

This is truly a stunner, Lolly! The background is, indeed, magical and you couldn't have chosen a better flower - and flower treatment - to make this whole card come alive! WOWWOWWOWWOW!! Love, Dolly
Magicals(?)... I’m reading about it again! I need to see this hot product in person when we get together! This is gorgeous. Love the colours and the beads. Love it. xx
Don't do this to me, Loll. I just added more Brushos and now you're using something else. ;) The background is gorgeous and the glass bead stenciling is fantastic.
Goodness, Loll, so gorgeous ... the background, the texture-y bead gel, that fabulous, softly coloured daisy with the glimmery centre ... this beautiful card will have definitely brought your friend joy! Hugs, Anita :)
This card is simply SUBLIME. You're card will send her on a splendid recovery. It's so dreamy and at the same time intense. A real piece of ART my friend! xx
Those colors really are magical Loll and the white daisy coloured with the Peacock Feathers DI is absolutely gorgeous, especially with the sweet gem in the centre. The textural bead gel through the harlequin stencil definitely add that special something, and a pretty clingfilm patterning too. x
