Hi bloggers! Another Christmas card for a giveaway, I do hope you don't mind. The top portion of this card was created by using a piece of
black gloss card larger than the finished size and coated it with
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue. I took the tops off of the
Pixie Powders and used a brush to pick up colour and tap all over the card. I used
Purple-Violet, Midnight Blue and Rich Gold for this background and repeated the same process with each of the colours until the glue was completely covered. I spritzed it lightly with water, ust enough to dampen the powder so it wouldn't blow away when heated. Next I used the heat tool to make the glue bubble. This process does take a bit of time, but keep heating untik the bubbling stops. You have actually just cooked the glue until it is more or less firm and almost dry. Do be careful touching it until it cools and this is why I suggest to start with a slightly larger piece of card so you can use the edge to grasp it when finished. Once cool, cut to the desired size using a paper cutter. I embossed a piece of coconut white card for it to attach to and show at the bottom of the card using the
Ice Crystals embossing folder. I cut a thin strip of
bright gold card and wrapped it around as a border between the top and bottom of the card. I cut the
Illuminated Angel striplet out of
white gloss card then backed it with
bright Gold card and attached it to the centre of the card with mounting foam. I cut a large
poinsettia out of white gloss card and seated it on the side with a metallic thread bow. The card was completed with white and gold mats. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. Leave a comment to be included in the drawing to win this one! All for now,
Sue x

Pearl, good news that Dave is feeling better, having chest problems and breathing difficulties is very scary especially when told you won't see 25. He will need to take care with the weather turning cold.
June, hope the cold has now gone, D-Day tomorrow., wishing you well.
Elaine, hope Andrew is still feeling better, and that doctor will have reassuring news for him.
Tina, Peter seems to be eating and sleeping better, all good aids to getting well.

Annette x
Morning Sue. Why would we mind a festive giveaway for goodness sake, any original Sue Wilson work of art no matter the subject is priceless to us, so go ahead, we appreciate everything you do to allow us own some of your work.
It may be just me but at a quick glance the background looked like various shades of building flakes, is it because I use my phone to enter particraft so it gives a different look, I'm not sure. So when I read it was the new pixie powders (which I don't own) I was amazed. I've only ever seen them used on a tv demo or like today on a still photo, never in 'real life' I don't think I'm imaginative, talented enough, or artistic enough to use these powders as they should be used and unfortunately I don't know if time allows me to try and watch a tutorial at the same time out a card together... saying that you have explained today's background so we'll I may go and get 2 later after my bloods and flu jab. I have the black gloss card, so if I can get a gold powder plus one other I you may have just tempted me to try ! I don't have the room or right coloured carpet to do the 'poof' pixie powder technique like you did with Hayley lol but I can use an ice cream tub spoon to sprinkle or top of a brush. I love the effect you have made for this card, oh I DO hope they don't become addictive lol I still need the rest of my Piecered Nobles before you bring anymore out lol. Let's be brave Wendy, this doesn't look too complicated lol.
I will finish with my usual virtual hug to you Sue, I can pretend it's a real one lol. Wish our June lots and lots of luck for tomorrow in case you don't have time to pop in before you leave the house in the morning. It won't be long before you are mobile again and start to get your health back so you can treat hubby to breakfast in bed. My neighbour had both done within 5 months, was able to excersise after years of pain, now out of her wheelchair and on course to buy a size 16 dress from a 24 ready for December and she's middle 60's oh and now non diabetic due to weight loss because she feels so much better since her new hips, so lots of hugs to you too June.
Have a good day Sue xxx

Hi Sue. I think this is a really effective way to create a night sky background but it is not so overpowering that it detracts from the focal image. A lovely card for Christmas.
Lisbeth
So glad you have put the instructions up too Sue as I have some of the pixie powders and haven't had the courage to use them yet. Gorgeous card and fab giveaway too. Thanks Sue, have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxx

Fabulous card Sue, I LOVE the background really falling for the pixie powders.
VC x
Fabulous. Amazing technique.
Another great card Sue. Have used this die for most of my Christmas cards this year. The die cuts like a dream, just used different colours to put the Angel onto. Kind reguards Sandra.
Morning Sue, I love, love, love, this background, the colours are gorgeous, the technique sounds scary haha, but the outcome is stunning. A gorgeous card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Sue I have not yet been able to master this technique, it never bubbles properly, is it maybe the glue has dried or am I not putting enough glue on, must admit I have not water spritzed it before....this is so beautiful, just love the background to this, really makes the Angel stand out...this card really needs rehoming by me please, it is just outstanding......luv Ursula xx
Morning Sue, just love this card, the background is fabulous. Have not tried this technique yet but will have to have a try.
Wendyx
Morning Sue,
Wow! How could any of us mind having the chance of winning such a glorious card as today's offering, it's really rather splendid to say the least. After seeing this I really think the pixie powders need to go to the top of my wishlist!

I absolutely love this card and the process you went through to achieve the look. Best of all is the contrast of colour to white - cleverly chosen Pixie colours. The angel must be the best that I have seen this year. Thanks.
Susan x
Hi Sue
Love all your Christmas cards but the pixie powder background on this one is stunning. I will confess to buying three of them, midnight blue peacock green and purple violet, so that I could make a background for your butterfly frame after watching your video. Would love to try this but don't have any gloss card
Tracy good luck with all your appointments today and if YOU feel ready to go back to work then go for it
June all the best for tomorrow and fingers crossed, you'll be like a new woman with your new knee
Laine hope you can get your scooter fixed so you can get out and about soon
Hugs and best wishes to everyone

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card for the giveaway and one that anyone would be over the moon to receive. The background is so unusual it would really get people wondering how it was made. The angel and poinsettia look lovely cut in gloss card and I love the bright gold card.
Bejay - you wish! lol
Laine - sorry your sinuses have not cleared up and that you are still chariot-less. Hope both are remedied soon and that your mum's op went well.
June and Betty - good luck for your operations tomorrow.
Tracy - hope your appointments with the doctor and your work go well. It is great that you now feel able to go back to work, I think you are a marvel.
Yvonne - hope you had a lovely time with your parents but it will be good to have you back again.

Hi Sue,
Love this card, saw you make it on Hochanda and was amazed how well the Gold Pixie Powder matches the bright gold foundation card. This card would take pride of place on any mantelpiece too. Karenlotty used this technique and the final piece made the most amazing 'night sky' behind a deer and some trees.
Thank you for your amazing inspiration Sue.

Hi sue. WOW This card is a beauty. The background is amazing and works so well with the angel striplet. Seen you do this technique on Hochanda but still not tried it yet, must pluck the courage up lol.

This Christmas card today is spectacular. I enjoyed watching you do this glue technique on hochanda. Your glue technique with pixie powders are on my "to do list". Drying the glue gives such nice texture to your card. Hope I win one of your Christmas cards! Fingers are crossed.
Love this card, Sue. I am always intrigued by the concepts you relay to us. I learn so much by reading and admiring your talent. thanks so much for sharing.

Hello Sue,

Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a treat to have the opportunity to adopt this stunning creation as it features a truly inspiring technique that many of us watched you demonstrate in awe on Hochanda recently. Its always more exciting for me to have the chance to win one of your christmas creations because they are my most favourite of all your designs, i simply cant get enough of them:-) I like to think that i am adventurous and open to new ideas but something about this technique scares me slightly...its the thought of burning the card or pixie powdered glue. But i promise to give it a try because the results are brilliant...it makes a lovely night sky background that would work so well with many of your new and old festive dies. The angel striplet is beautiful in the gloss card, as are the poinsettias, i really think that i might give this card a go:-)
Well ladies, today hasn't gone quite to plan, my Mum spent all night awake in anticipation of her transport arriving, which it did, as planned, however when she had her procedure attempted the doctor was unable to drain the cyst as it was too deep for his needles...its in her groin area which is a dodgy place to reach at the best of times but on this occasion almost impossible. She was rescheduled for next week when they will try again but seemingly if the cyst contains jelly instead of fluid they still wont be able to drain it:-( She's in a lot of pain and very tired by the 50+ mile round trip, hopefully she'll get a decent nights sleep tonight.
My scooter in being operated on as we speak, round one was a failure because what we thought had caused the puncture, a thorn from a bush that my mum ran over, was patched up and returned only for the tire To continue to deflate!!??! So James is checking for other punctures and tutoring his son at the same time, hopefully it will be all systems go now though, the world is my oyster!
June, so glad that your cold has shifted, full steam ahead now with the operation tomorrow:-) Good luck, i'll be thinking of you...hopefully after a bit of physio you will be like a new woman!
Myra & Maureen, we've had no reports of disturbances in the Carlisle area as yet but im still waiting in anticipation:-)
Diane, boy that was an early start, rather you than me:-) hope you have recovered enough for your little shopping trip, sounds like loads of fun, I'm well jealous:-)
Be jay, hope that your pain is easing now, you've really been through the wars lately, bet that you're totally uninsurable!
Elaine, sorry to hear that Andrew is suffering, it must take a lot of adjustment when you have to experience such aggressive treatment, hope he feels better soon and manages to find ways to cope.
Tina, hugs to you and Peter
Tracy, you sound really positive about going back to work now, maybe its the right time? Hope your appointment at the doctors works out well for you. Hugs and you go girl!
Yvonne, missing our chats honey, hope that you will feel up to it by the end of the week after a couple of days rest in your own bed. Wishing safe travels for your mum and dad. How's George getting on in his new job....gosh, so much to ask, it will be one long chat:-)
Hugs to my besties, Pam, P, Pat, Deb C, Maria, THeresa, Lorraine, lynda, Linda, Beth, Wheely and anyone i may have forgottenxxxx

The background colors and the texture of this card are stunning. This Angel card is beautiful! I've told Santa I would love to win one of your Christmas cards!!!
Love the background on this card. Have not used pixie powders yet but waiting for some I have ordered to arrive so will have a go.
Pixie Powder, an Angel and a beautiful poinsettia all make my heart race!! I would be honored to put this lovely card on my Wall of Honor! I know that I would get lots of comments on it and would proudly say that I won it from my favorite designer, Sue WilsoN!! Thanks for the chance!!
It's a stunning card, Sue! That die is nearly at the top of my wish list, it's so beautiful. Jo xx
Hi Sue,
Wow, what an interesting background - will have to give this a go. Fab card.

Love the background and it really shows of the central die. Love how die has been used simply. Has a contemporary twist.
Hello Sue
Who wouldn't love the chance to own this card. Not sure I am brave enough to try this technique. June and Betty good luck tomorrow. Elaine I hope Andrew has reassuring news from the hospital you must be so worried.
What a gorgeous card Sue and especially the background.xx
that background is awesome. it's a pity to hide it with anything even gorgeous die cuts :), hugs xx

Hi Sue and everyone
A lovely card today. So much to take in. Loving the new embossing folder. I also really like the poinsettias made from shiny gloss card. Not tried this. However, I am a little nervous around my poinsettia dies after one of them attacked me! Lol. The angel striplet looks great against the bright gold card too.
Thank you Pam for your comment. X
June, I wish you well for tomorrow, I will be thinking if you, along with most other Wilsonettes I suspect and wishing you a speedy recovery. X
Tracy, so glad things are going well for you. Only you will know if the time is right to return to work, but you seem positive and ready to get your life back. Good for you. X
Laine, hope you get your scooter fixed at last, and that your mother will get sorted next week. No wonder she is shattered with that journey. X
Yvonne, sorry Princess Pixie, I hope you've had a great time and enjoyed catching up, but can get back into your own routine again soon...and your bed. x
Bejay hope you are felling better. Hope you don't mind being compared to me by P in Wales, I'm just clumsy, but I'm sure you're not. X
Still have to catch up, but wish everyone well.
Love Helen xxx
hello Sue and everyone
I am back after 5months, my husband had a stroke and his left side totally paralysed but he got home last week after being in hospital for 19 weeks, so hopefully will have time now to check out these gorgeous cards.
This card is absolutely gorgeous and hopefully wil now have some time to try it out

I love the pixie powder background with the embossed half too.
Whenever i see these pixie poder cards i want to touch it too see how it feels.
The angel striplet looks so perfect against this background.

After watching your demos on hochanda i just had to go and buy some of the items you used so i have been really naughty this month.
Think i am going to have to hide it all from hubby lol

Very pretty card. I do like the colourful background. Both you and Julia have shown me how easy is is to do ..... so why can't I do it like you two? Ah well, I guess I shall just try, try and try again!!! Then, perhaps, I shall produce something as lovely.
Teress
beautiful card and this technique is great and easy to do. I tried it immediately after you demoed it on Hochanda - love it
A gorgeous card Sue. I am pleased that you've detailed how to use the pixie powders. So helpful to hear again. Will print it this time.
Hi Sue. What a fab card today !!! I love your Pixie Powder background that you have created. Very rich looking. Your Angel striplet die is lovely and it looks great with the gold card behind the image. As always, for me, Sue your Poinsettia's are my favourite dies on today's card !!! I recieved your Poinsettia Additions die set today. I have your previous Poinsettia die sets and just had to have this one to go with my others !!! I do love your Ice Crystals EF to. It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card today. Sending lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x

Hi Sue
What a fab card today. Love the angel striplet even though I'm not really into angels. Saw you do this technique.
Beautiful card Sue, thank you,

Hi Sue
Fabulous card, if only I could have that background as fabric, wallpaper, pretty much anything! It's awesome and I'm looking forward to trying some of these techniques asap. Makes for a stunning card, big hugs x
Big hugs and thoughts for those who are ill or who have friends or family ill. Good luck to those undertaking a new challenge. You are all in my thoughts and I shall message properly when I'm better able to xxx
Despite almost succeeding opening the door in the vets office and trying to leave during the drop off consultation (surgeons face was a picture!) Billy's op was a success, the cruciate had only half torn so not too much damage to the inner workings of his knee, certainly not as much as first feared but we got our timing as right as we can to stop the chance of further trauma. The surgeon rang soon as it was done and they've rung me twice more with updates. Though drowsy he is charming the nurses and has been eating chicken for tea so I know he's ok. Billy, like most guys will only not eat if there's a real problem. Surgeon will ring tomorrow and if Billy's still in a lot of pain he'll stay an extra night, if it can be managed by oral medication he can come home. Me, Mr and the support worker are getting everything ready for him to come home tomorrow. Should've been done before but I've flaked at least once last 3 days.
I'm so sorry it's a quick message everyone, first of all thank you so much for all the kind messages we've had over the past couple of days regarding Billy, Mr & myself, it's meant such a lot. I read through yesterday but ran out of juice before I could comment. I will thank you all personally soon as I can. I don't know if it's the stress, the extra travel over the last week and a bit or what (probably the lot!) but pain and headaches are hitting hard so typing is not easy but I knew there were those waiting to hear about "little" dog. I'll update soon as I can and thank you all again for caring xxx
Wishing good things to you all,

Lovely card Sue and I really must try this technique. Glad you are all having a good time in Carlisle.
I saw you demo this on Hochanda. Love the technique and would love to give your card a new home! Beautiful card!
Gorgeous card. Love the background. My first pixie powders arrived today (though not these colours) and I haven't had a chance to play with them yet.
Take care everyone.
Spectacular card!I love love love it!I haven't seen those pixie powders in Canada yet.I would love to win this card.
Stunning as usual Sue, thanks for the chance to win your beautiful card : )
Gorgeous card, especially that background - my fav colours all combined!
I'm in full-on festive decs and crafts mode right now as my first craft fair is in a month (been doing stuff all year, but never feel it's enough - and now doing 4 fairs instead of 1/2 thinking it DEFINITELY won't be enough!! - and want to raise maximum cash for charity) and me, my helper dog, my wheelchair, craft room, sofa, pjs... Basically EVERYTHING is covered in glitter!! Good job I love shiny, glittery things eh?
Loving your cards x

I looove the pixie powders. Gorgous. And the dies are so lovely. Absolutely beautiful card.
WOW WOW WOW! I want to win this card. I must have it. I pinned as usual.
Beautiful... and I must try this technique.
Lovely card, haven't got this die, and it'd be lovely to win one of yours. I have shamelessly copied several from the Cosmic shimmer YouTube channel and they've always been received with excellent reviews. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the technique on this card. Sorry I missed the give away hopefully some day I will win one.
