Hi Bloggers! I was thinking ahead when I designed this card as I used the leaves to create a gorgeous resist pattern for my background, then upcycled the leaves from this on to another card! Such a fun way to get a two-fer!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. Not much to say about today's sample other than absolutely stunning. The resist background the chosen colours, the dies and design. It's gorgeous Sue, your inspiration never fails to brighten our day thank you.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day you deserve it for all you do for us xxx
And I've just been able to enlarge the last photo to read the sentiment, it's just beautiful. You make us smile every day xx
DeleteSuch a beautiful card,love the colour of the background.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card today! Love the leaf resist background and the card design. Debra x

Gorgeous card Sue x xhazel
ReplyDeleteA fabulous technique which shows the leaves off to great effect. A good card for males or maybe with a different colour range could easily be for females too,
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card, love the background, very inspirational. The colours are gorgeous.

Beautiful
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning background with Pixie Powders which could easily have swamped the focal point without that clever double frame to isolate it and a little bit of glitter doesn't hurt either...lol....lovely card, off to check out the video now

Love the resist background.

Good Morning Sue. I am amazed by this video. How much more simple can you show us a brilliant background effect using pixie powders and dies. Just beautiful. I am loving the p.powders at the moment....now I know not to flood them.... so this will be something else I can't wait to try.... and I am already thinking snowflake dies instead of leaves..... nearer Christmas of course. Can you imagine that. Sending best wishes to everyone this miserable dull rainy morning. What a difference from yesterday. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - such a beautiful card. The square frame really sets off the pretty Julia die and a great tip about adding the glitter after putting the frame in place. Love the pixie colours you have chosen too and looking forward to seeing the next card using the leaves. Sending best wishes

Morning Sue,

Hi Sue, Beautiful card and background, must have a go . love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous card. I love everything about it so what more can I say! Will have to watch the video again as I’m not quite sure if you removed the leaves, just leaving the shape once the pixies had dried? Something I will certainly be trying & would like to try a butterfly & dragonfly background & maybe a floral one. The possibilities are endless. Thank you so much Sue.
ReplyDeleteAlways a fun video! Hoping we'll get to see the related card soon, using the Pixie-Powdered leaves. I'm imagining that Pixie Powdering job is extra scary because you have to like what you end up with because you can't re-apply the Pixies after the leaves move.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cascading butterflies could also be done this way, in summer colors.
Best to all,
Donita
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Sue x the resist technique with the leaves looks amazing and I love the colours of the pixies you have chosen x lovely sentiment too x Thankyou Sue x

This is a beautiful card and resist backgrounds are so much fun. I am going to use the Julia die today but unfortunately not as fun as this one.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, have a great day. Can't decide what kind of day I'm having as my dog woke me up extra early and it hasn't sorted itself out yet.

Hi Sue, a lovely card and the beautiful autumnal colours suit the leaves so well. Most non-crafters are intrigued by the resist technique and I think this one would keep them puzzling for ages. Thanks for the video and I shall look out for the actual leaves making an appearance soon.
ReplyDeleteCarmen-Dorothy - I do hope your cold is getting better, sometimes giving in to it is the only thing to do.
Frances
Wonderful video...love how this technique allows for making your own customized background cardstock....design and colors.
