Hello bloggers! I did include this card in my favourites from last year even though it hasn't had it's day on the blog until now, but it was a demo from the last shows that I did in 2016 so I thought it counted! I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut the
Family Tree die out of the top except I left the very bottom of the trunk uncovered with the cutting plate. This allowed me to partially die cut the image, but left it in tact. Next I used the
Double Pierced Noble Circles Set B to cut the area around the tree. Again, I left the very bottom of the die uncovered so it would not cut there. I used scissors to nip away the small part between the two dies that was left uncut. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it. Next I created a background using an assortment of
Pixie Powders. I used
Burnt Orange, Straw Yellow Emerald Green and Aubergine Dream. I spritzed it with water to activate the powders and dried it thoroughly before adding my tree over it. I cut a wide border and added the decorative edge from the
Trellis Edger to both sides and stamped my sentiment in the middle of it. I added it with foam below the tree and completed the card with white mats. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. If you would like a chance to win this card, just leave a comment. The winner will be announced on Sat. blog post. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
Lovely card today, always had a passion for drawing trees as a child many moons ago.
Thank you for sharing the techniques used to leave the trunk attached to the circle.
Love and hugs to Pam,June S, Nanna Tina, Elaine and P in Wales and all who know who you are Peter is deteriorating quickly.
Love and crafty hugs to all
Tina T xxxx
Love this card and the die. I just wish the tree was larger for a large scrapbook tree, family tree.
Morning Sue.
At the risk of being boring it's no wonder you listed this gorgeous card as a 2016 favourite. I'm still struggling to find a Spitzer bottle, so my experiments with the powders haven't gone to plan ! So it's lovely to see it done properly. Having this die collection I'd like to think I could end up with a beauty like this one day.
sending my usual hugs for the day xx
Hello Sue and all
the more I see of this die, the more I think I NEED it lol !!! Love all the elements of this card,
good luck everyone, I am still so excited about last week's win,
hugs

Lovely card Sue,beautiful background with a stunning die,thank you,Linda x
Beautiful card. Must say my experiments with pixie powders have all ended in the bin.
Tina T stay strong sending you my very best hug.
I'm trying to comment early cos on a phone you have to scroll through all the posts to be able to comment there isn't a short cut.
And then last thing at night I read through the rest of the days comments.
That works better for me.
Wishing everyone a fab day

I loved this card when you demoed it on Hochanda, how you've framed it is so clever and the pixied background is great. I'm loving my pixie powders, did a batch sheets yesterday. For the lady who didn't have a spritzer bottle, I use a washed out lens cleaner bottle!

Hi Sue,
I'm so glad you showcased this card today as I have just received this tree but not had a chance to play with it yet. I'm hoping to put some time aside this afternoon and evening to do some crafting. I love the effect the pixie powders give and now need to get some of those too. I attended one of John Lockwood's craft sessions last year when he demonstrated them, he's a lovely man.
Have a lovely day and thank you for the chance to win this beautiful card.

Hi Sue, a lovely card that I saw you demonstrate on TV and thought it very clever the way you left the trunk in the card. I have been wondering ever since if I could apply the technique to any of my other dies. I love the clean lines and the beautiful pixie powdered background. A beautiful card for the giveaway.

Morning Sue, lovely card, whoever receives it will be over the moon.

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. A special card from a special person and I love it. Beautiful die cut tree and background.
Good morning Sue and all the blogettes.
I am trying so hard to resist the Family Tree but it's getting more difficult. Not even sure we can get Pixie Powders in the U.S. Thanks for showing us how to make the tree seem to grow right out of the paper under the circle aperture. Like Donna Golby, I comment early, which is just before falling asleep, and go back the next night to read the rest of the comments. For Stephanie Cotterill, I have found spritzer bottles with cleaning supplies. For water, you don't need a tiny one like they sell with art supplies. Tina T, our hearts go out to you.
Love to all my sisters in paper crafting.

Hi Sue what a lovely cheerful card . Love the colours you have used with the pixie powders .Think I will have to make my mind up on what colours I should start with . Gloria (sidcup)xx
Hi Sue,
I love this card and the tree - it is GORGEOUS.
Hugs, Rose
This is a very peaceful and calm card today Sue, or that's the way it appears to me. I don't think I've ever felt like this when looking at a card before. Of course it's very 'clean' as I think of it, maybe that's why I'm always drawn to clean cards! :)

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue
Just Love Today's Wednesday Weekly Gift Card, It's So Very Inspiring And Glorious.
This Is A Card "I Would Love To Receive", Its Extremely Exquisite, Elegant, Rich And Extremely Opulent.
I Love "The Family Tree Die", It Was Really Great Watching You Demo This On Hochanda, "The Pixie Powders", Are Sublime
They Are Extremely Beautiful Colours And Shine So Much With The Mica Content.
I Love How You Cut Out Your Tree, (Wish I Could See A Video Once More) And Then You Used Your "Double Pierced Circles" To Go Around The Focal Point.
I Love How You've Cut The Bottom Part Of Your Card With You're Sentiment "You're So Special" Then Using "The Outstanding
Trellis Edger", On Both Top And Bottom, Thank Goodness For Cutting Dies No More Dreaded Punches Having To Line Them Up And
In Some Cases They Will Not Cut And Get Blocked Up, Very Frustrating.
Sue Thank You So Very Much For Sharing "This Extremely Opulent Card" With Us Once Again, It's A Sue Wilson Masterpiece, Sharing Your Great Skills And Awesome Talent I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do Thank You So Very Very Much.
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself Sue

Love love love this card. Have his die and as my name would suggest my collection of pixie powders contains them all including the newest colours. So I could make this little beauty myself but why bother Sue when you could just send it to me! Don't worry about everyone else - they won't mind. Lol x

Hi Sue, what a delightful card you're offering us for the Wed giveaway. Must get to grips with the Pixie powders as they make lovely backgrounds when used properly unlike my attemps which end up either, in the waste bin or recycled to make a flower. (But mostly , the former). I haven't got the tree die but that edger die looks great. Mmmm? Which one should I get first? Hugs xx P Austen
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card. I love the background and the tree is stunning. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Loving the pixie powder mix.

Oh my! When I saw this in your favorites I wished that is was a Wednesday Card Giveaway and viola! here it is! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed in hopes of being today's lucky recipient as I truly love this one! Thank you for the chance to! :-)
Beautiful card, love the background.
Rosemary xx
Such a fun and unique card! Love it!
An awesome card today. I was able to watch you demonstrate this card on Hochanda. You are so clever about cutting out the tree but leaving the tree trunk connected to the base card. I like how the bits and pieces of the tree limbs/leaves can be cut away from the tree for more versatility and a unique spray of leaves around flowers. I also like that there is a backing for for the leaves. And then there is the Pixie Powder background. Love those Pixie Powders. Sue, you are so neat when you work with Pixie Powders. I, on the other hand, look like I am breaking out with some disease with all the splotches of colors all over my fingers and hands.
A stunning card!!
Hi Sue
Love the card you've made. I saw you do this one. I haven't got the die can't buy them all I'm afraid. But wish I could. Lovely veg the pierced circles, squares and rectangles. Only wish they were all made for our size cards. I've bought the squares but can't used the first two.
I love the simple and clean look of this card. The background colors are stunning. I need to try the die cutting technique you describe. It sounds like it might take a bit of practice to get just right. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Hello Sue, love today's card, the tree Die would be very useful for male cards.
My Grandson (10) has more success than me with the Pixie Poweders.
More practise needed on part I think.
Have a good day.

Hi sue.
Wednesday already??? Where are the days going? Lol. Ur card is like a breath of fresh air. The colours are so pretty. I need more of the pixies. But I was brave and found my inner messiness hee hee.

HI Sue. This card is fabulous. I love trees! You have included tons of creativity in making this card. I have pixie powders on my wish list. You make it look so easy to use them. I'm looking forward to trying them. Thank you for sharing your love and talent for card making! You do inspire us!
Hello Sue,
I remember watching you demo this card! It's really lovely and the Pixie powder background is perfect with it. I also really like the stamped sentiment. I keep forgetting about edgers! Mind you I forget lots of things!
Tina T - so sorry about Peter . Thanks for letting us know! Thinking of you all.
Pam - good to see you back on form! You are a treasure!
June - I heard some of those Ouches up here!! Hope it wasn't too bad!

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Aren't the new range of pixie powders gorgeous? They are rich and Autumnal in colour palette and suit the nature of this card to a tee. The Family Tree is a stunning die and just so versatile, i would really like to add it to my collection but will have to be patient i guess:-(
I can really see why you picked this card out as a favourite Sue, its a beauty and would be a welcome addition to my home and to that of many others too I'm guessing:-)
Well i was true to my word, after running some errands earlier in the day, i then set about tidying away the Christmas decorations....a job that is not to be taken lightly, the delicate nature of packing away numerous glass baubles without breaking any in the process is something i can never quite manage. Now, I'm not known for my brute strength...5 and a half stone weakling to be honest.....but i still managed to crush one with my bear hands, scattering said bauble on the floor where unsuspecting pussy paws could come a cropper! That along with a shopping delivery to contend with made the afternoon pretty lively.....i did have delivery of a rather fab pair of LK Bennett suede shoes to ease my pain though:-)
I feel like i have fallen way behind in my acquisition of the most current dies, i had a mad splurge buying all of the Christmas range but since then my purchases have been non existent. I do have a little confession to make though, rather than spend my Christmas money on said dies i have been seduced by my second pair of LK Bennett shoes, five Reiss skirts, a Reiss dress, two Reiss jumpers and a leather belt! I should be ashamed of myself, call myself a crafter?, Yvonne will have a field day questioning my loyalty to Sue and the Cause, how can i hold my head high on the blog now i ask myself? Please don't judge me harshly, i am a weak, easily impressed shopaholic whose penchant for spending extends far beyond the realms of crafting unfortunately....I'll never die a rich woman but i will be a well dressed, heavily adorned corpse...sorry if that joke is in bad taste to some, its just my feeble sense of humour at play again!
Pam, i was heartened to see one of your regular posts, the world cannot function without your morning round up:-) Keep up the good work my lovelyxxx
June, hope your physio passed without too many oohs and plenty of ahhhs! You're doing a great job, you'll be signing up for next years Strictly at this rate:-)
Tina, thanks for the update on Peter, I'm so sorry he's not improving, I'll keep thinking of himxxx
Elaine, how is Andrew, will he get his treatment this week?Hoping you are both wellxxx
Yvonne, i hope your Mum is okay sweetie....i'll refrain from any banter out of respect and wish you both well, speak to you tomorrow honeyxxxx
Frances, how is little Pippin, has he fully recovered and forgiven you for the assault?:-)
P, entertaining you say? I like the sound of that, though i have to say that after enduring an hour long conversation with Yvonne, entertained is definitely NOT the word I'd use:-)
Special hugs to my blog besties Tracy, Myra,Maureen,Pat, Deb C, Alison, Wheely and everyone on this fabulous blogxxx
Crafty love and hugs
Laine1972xxxx
One of my all time favourite cards, I just love that tree die!!!

Hi Sue,
Somehow I missed this card yesterday.
I love the pixie powders and how they work their magic on backgrounds.
The tree of life is gorgeous
Off to check today's card before I get back to finishing off the quilt I'm making.

Fell asleep last night before I could comment. This is a beautiful card. Been trying to get the die. Didn't think I needed it when I first saw it but have definitely changed my mind. Thank you for explaining how to make it.
Hi Sue. wow wow what a delightful card. I have watched you using the
tree die not sure I an get same effect. Love to win. Mavis L x
Hello Sue. This is a great technique. I'm trying to perfect it, but it's not as easy as you seem to make it. Practice, I guess. Would love to see I in real life. Myra from Florida
Hi Sue
Lovely card & nice to have something different in design & this would be perfect for the men.
Love the shape of the tree & really love the metallic background which
looks amazing & very stylish.

I saw your demo online and loved the simple yet eye catching lines of this card. Any use of Pixie Powder is great in my mind.
We are to get snow it seems and in the Southern US that means a mad dash to the grocery store so I'm off.
