Hi crafters! More pixie powders for today's card! I started with a piece of coconut white card and sprinkles
Straw Yellow, Burnt Orange and Lava Red Pixie Powders all over it then spritzed with water. Once dry, I cut the
Cascading Leaves die out of it several times to use all the leaves. On another piece of card, I covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet and placed all the leaves down on it randomly. I filled in the exposed adhesive with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for a bit of bling! Using the
Double Stitched Rectangle die set, I made a multi layered frame cut out of coconut white card and black card and added it with mounting foam. I cut the sentiment out of black card from the
Mix & Match Friendship Sentiment set and glued it to the upper corner are inside the frame. For a floral element, I used the
Spiral Flower die set and made three flowers out of white card. I added them into opposite corners and accented them with the
Oak Leaf Swag cut in white. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Happy Monday Sue. I think whoever thought up the idea of Pixie Powders deserves a medal, they are so pretty and you can do so many beautiful things with them as you've shown here, this morning's sample is lovely. For any new Pixie Powderers lol and your first trial isn't what you hoped it would be just cut some flowers or leaves like Sue has done and you'll then love it instead of condemning it to the paper recycle bin, believe me (and others) when we say "don't give up" lol.
Thanks for a lovely start to our week and hope your day is a lovely day too xxx
Morning Sue, a beautiful card today, love the colours of the leaves and it looks really good with the glittered background. Have a good day everyone. Bx

Hello Sue and all
I am sure that the photo does not do this card justice, lovely as it looks, imagining the pixie powder leaves on a gorgeous blingy background - the floral focus is lovely too.

Not one of my favourite cards I'm afraid, the colourful background over shadows the beautiful flowers.

Hello Sue
Beautiful card this morning.
I love the colourful Pixie Powdered leaves against your sparkly background. The Finishing Touch is my favourite Oak Leaf Swag!
Lesley S x
Hi Sue,
I can imagine this card would really catch the light when placed on a sunny windowsill - love the Pixie colours you've used, so vibrant - and Stephanie is right, there's no such thing as a wasted Pixie Powder background - if it doesn't turn out the way you'd hoped then just cut some outline die shapes with it, flowers, leaves, even sentiments would probably look great...
Izzy
thsi is a very beautiful card Sue

Leaves must be on my mind. I was just using the cascading leaves die with Pixies. Stephanie C is spot on...Pixies are never wasted just cut out a die. I have a rather homely sprayed sheet that turned into a gem once cut out and made a pretty card focal. They , of course are background stars too.
This card is so much prettier than my little card but what inspiration.
I just ordered a few new launch dies. Can not wait to get them.
Love to all,

Hi Sue, a lovely card with the autumnal coloured pixied Cascading Leaves. Love the Spiral Flower and Oak Leaf Swag as well. The Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz certainly does add some bling and as Izzy said it is easy to imagine it sparkling in the sunshine.
Frances
Hi Sue, I love this card, I think it would be great for our male friends, though perhaps not with the flowers.
Wendyx
Great looking card with lots of sparkle.
So pretty!
Beautiful card. Like many others, I love Pixie powders and enjoy playing with them. The nice think about this design is that it is open to any combination of colours.

Hi Sue. WOW, WOW, WOW !!! Today's card is absolutely gorgeous !!! I love it !!! The cascading leaves is a fabulous die set and the pixie powders are beautiful. I love the glitter you have added to fill in the gaps, providing lots of lovely "bling" to your card. I really must get the stitched rectangle frames. ( One of those want / need / have to have die sets. ) I know they are a perfect fit for your stained glass dies to. I got the spiral flowers and the swirly oak leaves for Christmas and they are fabulous die sets !!! Thank you for sharing today's gorgeous card with us Sue. Lots of love to you from Tres X X X
