Hello friends! I truly wish that I was able to capture the colours of this card, but take my word for it, it is very striking! You have to start with a much larger piece of card that your final finished piece to do this one. The reason being is that as you cut into it, if it is smaller, the branches of the tree will fall away and you won't be left with anything you can work with. If however, you start with a larger piece, you can cut the
Family Tree four times in to the background (just the head of the tree inward, not the trunk) and your card will stay together except for the pieces of the tree you remove. Next create a
Pixie Powder background by tapping various colours on to a piece of coconut white card. I used
Aubergine Dream, Emerald Green, Burnt Orange and Straw Yellow for this. Spritz with water and dry well. Attach your black background with the tree heads cut from it over the top of the pixied background (I used spray glue for this) and now you can trim it to any desired size in your paper cutter. The backing from the pixie powders will hold any of the sections of the tree background in place, nothing will fall off this way (I do hope that all makes sense!) Next I cut the
Bora Bora die out of white and backed it with black and cut the centre out. I used a bit of leftover Pixie Powder background to use on the inside of the frame as the floor and I used the
Tahiti and
Bora Bora dies to cut a thin frame out of it as well and added it to the
Bora Bora around the inside edge. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the smaller hexagons and added a slightly larger black mat hexagon to it before seating it in the centre of the frame. I completed the card with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Beautiful card. Some pixie powders have moved to the top of my shopping list, what fabulous backgrounds they make. The tree is still haunting me too, think that needs to be adopted also.
Hugs
Muriel x
What an interesting way to use one of your dies, the pixie powders are on my shopping list to check out at Ally Pally!
wonderful background on this card
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, I know that I could never create anything like this so I'm just going to sit and admire it.
Pam, pleased that you're back at your proper place as I've missed your usual comments but totally understand. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
I love how you've used the tree die with the pixie powders. Such pretty colours together.

Beautiful background on this gorgeous card! Love it!
Your ideas never fail to amaze me Sue, this is lovely.
Love the background and the dies used.
Hi Sue
What a wonderful background. I must give it a try.Beautiful card.
Jan x
I think you have demoed this background on Hochanda. A great idea it makes this die so versatile xx
Good morning Sue. Sorry today's card is not for me, a bit dark and dull. Not everyone will feel that, then again it would be a terrible world if we were all alike and liked the exact same things. The design with brighter colours would maybe bring my thinking round.
Hope the trade show is going well.
Pam lovely to see you back in first this morning, just sets the day right. Glad your are ok.

Fabulous card. Great background. Love the idea of how to do the background.

GM Sue. Very lovely with the pixie powder background.
Wonderful card today! Love the background with the family tree, so effective. Debra x
Fab card Sue, love the family tree die.
Dear Sue and Avid Fans,
Not only do you give us this wonderful card, but you also give us the tip about starting with a larger paper to hold the trees together. This might work with a piece of scrapbook paper if we don't have pixie powders yet. I wonder if a spring green instead of black would work for an early summer look.
You're making it increasingly difficult to resist the Bora Bora die.
We had a beautiful warm day for a walk in an oceanside park in Connecticut. Everybody was out with their dogs, including a pug in a stroller with a matching pug running circles around it. Their owner was not having a good time but the hyperactive pug more than made up for it. We saw a few dogs that were so small, there was more happy than dog.
Thank you for such an interesting card.
May everyone's week be off to a good start.
Love,
Donita
Good morning Sue,
What a super card to start the week with! Love the gorgeous Pixie Powder background, a lovely colour combination. X
Good Morning Sue and all. Beautiful card this morning. I love how you have created the back ground. I really need to be brave and get some pixie powders after just having my first play with gilding flakes after watching your videos. The back ground really makes the card. Wendy
Good morning Sue, I can imagine this card popping out saying pick me! It really is a beauty. Big hugs Jo xxx
WOW Sue xx stunning card xx love Kim D
Morning Sue, a real wow of a card this morning. I just love the tree and have used mine so much. When it was released I didn't think it was for me, but now so pleased I bought it. You can do so much with it.
Love Rosemarie X X
Nice to see you back at the top Pam, makes the start of the day right X
Good morning Sue
A really striking card today. I agree with Stephanie, it would be great to see a video on how to make it. I am sure the colours are so much better in real life, a very good card for men too.
Have a good day everyone
Hugs xxx

Good morning Sue,
Absolutely stunning & unique. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue. What a gorgeous card. I haven't tried pixie powders but I wonder if you get a similar effect with gilding flakes. My mum & I tried your fire & ice technique at the weekend & were really pleased with the end result. Thanks for the inspiration
I like this card, simple but effective.
Morning Sue what a fantastic card i have a few Pixie Powders may not be the same colours but will give it a try .
Catherine xx
A lovely card this morning Sue, I love Pixie Powders for backgrounds, they look stunning behind almost any background.
Hugs Helen x
A great card Sue. I love pixie powders and how different they can look every time, and the dies you used are brilliant. The Bora Bora one is my favourite I think. Thank you, enjoy your day. Xx
Stunning card, I suspect the colours look much brighter in real life if my pixie powder experience is anything to go by for those concerned about the dark colours, love the shapes produced by the family tree die
Hi Sue,
I can imagine that the pixie colours are more striking in real life, gorgeous card. x
Loving the card Sue, I can imagine the colours as I have used Pixie Powders, they create great colours.
Lovely card, very striking. The colours remind me of Mother of Pearl-very pretty.
Michele
Fabulous card Sue. I love the background. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.

Hi Sue - I absolutely love this card. I have used the tree die many times and I will enjoy making a card like this. Thank you for another brilliant idea yet again. Sending best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue
Thank you for showcasing another card with the Family Tree, it's given me more ideas of how to use mine. I love the Black against the Pixie Powders, very striking.
Chris xx
Hi Sue
Thank you for another wonderful card, it is so good to see how to use dies in different ways.
Heather R Oxfordshire
That's a lovely, brilliant idea.
Hi Sue
A gorgeous card. I think you demoed this or something similar on Hochanda and it is such clever use of the family tree die.
B xx
A very striking card, not too fussy so would make a good card for a man. I really like it but like Stephanie I think a video is needed! Still trying to get the pixie powders right! Lol! Thank you Sue
A striking card today, not too sure if I think it's a bit dark?
Doreen x

Great card, Sue, love the pixie-d background behind the leaves. Pleased the Family Tree has so much versatility, it's fast becoming a favourite. Together with the poppies, nobles and window striplet of course!
Pam, glad you're okay - we need you up top! Echoing your comments.
Hugs.
'P' in Wales
Hi Sue
Wow what a fantastic card today, this tree die is really growing on me (sorry!). I do love the pixie powder backgrounds and must get a stash sorted so I can just go to them and make a quick card. I get impatient waiting for them to dry and until I find my heat gun which I've obviously put in a safe place, the dry time is much longer. Your cutting out description is perfect. Thank you. Hope the trade show is going well.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam my lovely lady, it's great to see you back at the top on good form. Thank you for starting the day just right. Sending you a big hug.xxx
Donita your pug description made me laugh. We saw one on our beach walk yesterday running round in circles barking at waves. Xxx
Hello Sue,
I remember your demo on Hochanda showing how to do this background - it's so effective and I can imagine the Pixie layer is much more vibrant in real life...a stunning card which would cheer up any friend!
Izzy
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love it the design is amazing. Of course the dies are gorgeous. Enjoy your day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
WOW Sue this is gorgeous. Just love what you've done with the tree die for the background and my favourite Pixie Powders again.
Love Val in Spain xxx
Hello Sue
A really lovely card for us this morning and I can imagine how striking it looks in real life with the Pixie Powdered background peeping through!
I can see more Pixie Powder colours need to go on the list!
Best Wishes to you, Sue.

Hello Sue
How do you manage to come up with such amazing creations everyone is so different I can't wait to open up your blog each day.Pam lovely to see you back on top. Donita my granddaughter loves pugs so I will read out your comments when I see her tomorrow it will make her laugh.Hugs to all who need it.
Beautiful. I so love the Family Tree die. I'm not getting on very well with pixie powders, but I think it's because I don't have enough of the right colours. They only had two colours in my local craft shop. Must make an effort to get more and try again!
Lovely design, good card for men too. X
Morning Sue oh what a stunning card .I too wish you would do a video of it. We are delighted to share the news with all wilsonettes our beautiful grandaughter was born yesterday .She was early 37 weeks but healthy 6 lbs 14 Oz.Going to visit her this afternoon . Gloria ( sidcup ) xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely card today, the pixie powders certainly come into their own on this one.
Pam nice to see you back on the top with your update comments on everyone. Knee is fine. Must have a go at some crafting today, I am thinking of doing something with Sue's Pacific Background... I have a picture in my head. I am also looking forward to Saturday when Sue will be back on Hochanda.

A very pretty card showing yet another way of using the family tree die. The pixie powdered background makes, what could be a dark card, more vibrant, more so than using plain card behind.

Fabulous card Sue. Love the way use used the family tree die.
Hi Sue. Love this. Will have a go at it, but think I may use an adhesive sheet over the Pixie'd card, add the black trees card, then sprinkle with Cosmic Shimmer. Think that should look ok......we'll see!! Thanks again for all your inspiration x
Lovely card to start the week.
Rosemary xx
Love this card Sue and so pleased I decided to get the Family Tree die recently and the Bora Bira die. Just need to make some background papers. Thank you for a lovely idea. Myra I hope you are feeling better soon.
Sue, what a wonderful background you created on this card and so unusual looking, it's stunning. I think I really must experiment with some pixie powders (I've only just acquired a few) as I've now seen a few amazing effects that you've created with them. Love the family tree die.
Hi Sue Yet another beautiful card. I imagine the background to be very striking in real life.
What a clever use of the die Sue. Very unusual card. Love from Jackie xx

Hi Sue, this is like an old master piece of art, how gorgeous is that, thank you for sharing your creation.
Pam lovely to see you back at No 1.
Take care everyone, Jess xxx
Hi Sue. Although this card is quite minimalist, it is nonetheless very striking. I love the way the Bora Bora element really pops against the background. Perhaps I will get a chance to do some crafting again soon.
Lisbeth
Another favorite for me. I always love your striking Pixie Powder backgrounds. You have such an eye for creating amazing cards.
We are having very warm weather here. My azaleas are blooming. Hope winter doesn't come back and zap everything.

Hi Sue,
The look of this card reminds me of the 'Mother of pearl inlaid into boxes' (not sure I described that correctly) My Nan had a jewellery box with mother of pearl inlaid into the top. The wood was as dark as Ebony too, stunning, just like they look you have created here! It's stunning !! Thank you
Hugs

Hi Sue
Love how you've used the tree Die. I think I understand how it was done. I'll read over the instructions again just to made sure I've got it right in my head. I'd love to see this one in the flesh so to speak to see if it is as dark as it looks.
Beautiful :)
Good afternoon Sue and all your crafty crew
I love the way you have used the pixie poser and tree die to give us this gorgeous card
Hugs to all that need one
TheresaGx
Afternoon Sue and everyone.
I love this card ! The background with the pixie powders is beautiful
and with some other colours together you would get a whole bunch of different background for the trees which look like shadows. Lovely card Sue.
Hope everything is going well at the trade show, take care.
Gloria- congrats to have a little bundle of joy, hope you get many
cuddles when you meet her.
Myra- hope you feeling better and the migraine has gone to where
the sun not shine.
Donita- you made me smile with your pug story. They are a funny looking
little dog and so cute when they are puppies. It must be something in
the weather because the dogs we saw this morning on our walk were running
around like lunatics everywhere Lol
Diane- very carefully use a file and you should soon have the problem sorted.
Not a good look having twigs growing Lol
Pam-sending some special hugs to you because you are a special lady and
also to anyone else who need one. I have plenty to give and of course
our Sue always know she have some special once every day.
many hugs Maria x

Hi Sue, a great card and I love the pixied background. Overall a little dark for me but I am sure it looks really good in real life.
Gloria - congratulations on the safe arrival of your new granddaughter, I hope you have plenty of cuddles.
Sandra - I recognise the description of your nan's jewellery box, my mum had a very similar one and you have just taken me back at least 50 years!
Thinking of all our missing friends.

A really nice card today, would suit those awkward times that we don't like.xx
Pretty!
Hello Sue,
What clever and innovative way to use the Family Tree die. You always so willingly give us such clever hints and tips like no one else that I know. As you said, the photo doesn't show us the actual coloring of the card but from the names of the pixie powders that you used I'm sure that is bright and cheerful. Thanks for sharing.
Beverly
I really like how the Tree will work for so many occasions. The Pixie Powders have worked so well in the background of todays card.....BarbaraC
Good evening Sue, sorry for my absence for the last few days, I have been away to help celebrate my nephew's 40th birthday with family and long standing friends in Malta. Flew back today and apart from the mundane things we all do after holidays I have been catching up with your blog. Some really stunning samples and I think the Bora Bora die is fast becoming my new favourite.
Congratulations to the winners of the comment game and the Wednesday card giveaway.
Crafty hugs to you Sue and all on the blog.
Marion S x
Absolutely gorgeous. I knew that family tree die was a must have. Best wishes all luv Jessup
very nice use of the tree die ,great card ,Laura O
Stunning card Sue!!!!!!
I love everything about this card. The tree die has become a firm favourite with everyone and combined with the Pixie Powders it makes a gorgeous card.
Oh what a shame. Such a beautiful card and I don' t have the tree die or pixie powders but I could try doing something similar using my collection of your leaf dies and gilding flakes perhaps when I get back home. Or I could put them on my "want" list. Great idea Sue and thank you for your helpful tips. Hugs xx P Austen
Beautiful card Sue!! Love the background!!
Good evening Sue
Oh what a rich and regal looking card, so very beautiful and what a super summary of how you achieved the end result, making it very easy for us all to follow I think, thank you. You will no doubt be tired after the show I really hope you get the chance to rest and relax before your show on Hochanda really looking forward to seeing you on there.
Pam so lovely to see you in your number one place and back to your cheery post for Sue and everyone, please do take care, thinking of you.

Hello Sue, I am starting to realise I need the family tree, your cards of late have shown just how versatile this die is. It looks amazing used as a background with the pixie powders. Gorgeous card. Hope you are managing to get some rest after your busy craft fair.
Gloria congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter, enjoy all the cuddles.
Tracy and Pat I hope you manage to get together, how exciting.

Ooooooooo gorgeous. I'll bet this is soooo sparkly and beautiful in the flesh. It is stunning on the blog but I know when I have seen your cards at Ally Pally they are even more magnificent - if that is possible!
Don't know if I have mentioned this before but I quite like pixie powders so any card featuring these little bottles of magical glitz is a winner x
I hope your time at the trade show has been exciting and you are not completely worn out. Want you fresh faced for your performance on Saturday - I am counting down the sleeps x
Today was a blue sky not much cloud sunny kind of day so I was delighted to be able to get my washing out on the line. I do get a bit of a thrill seeing a line full of white washing. Small pleasures x
Pam - lovely to see you back where you belong. Which new dies did you get?
Donita - your pug story is hilarious. The sun puts everyone in a good mood - pugs included x
Gloria - congratulations on your new bundle of joy. Hope the cuddles were long x
Tracy and Pat - I really hope you manage to coordinate a meet up. So lovely to be able to put faces to names - keep us posted x
Laine - how's the hair hun? Look forward to catching up with you on Wednesday x
OK people. Sending lots of love and happy thoughts to everyone especially my lovely blog besties - you know who you are x
Take care

Hello Sue this care is absolutely gorgeous, love the Pixie powders.
Sweet dreams, love Brenda xxx
A stunning card. The combination of pixie powders is just awesome. Thanks for the multiple close-up photos showing the fantastic display of the pixie powders. Love those pixie powders!
Hi Sue,
Wonderful background on this card. I like the colors. I haven't tried pixie powders and it is not going to happen too soon. Too many techniques for a newbie like me. Not today, but one day ...

Pam – glad to hear you are OK. Enjoy your new SW dies!
Gloria - Congratulations! Enjoy your grand-bundle-of-joy!
Lori from Canada – Hi!Glad to see Sue has another Canadian fan.

Love the Family Tree die and the colours.
Made my first card this year, using the Candy Machine. It took me rather longer than Sue's U-tube video but I enjoyed doing it and I'm pleased with the result.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue
I love learning new techniques and this one is a beauty.
