Hi crafters! I love the way this card came out, but it sat on my desk for quite awhile before I figured out what I thought it needed! I started by cutting the Crux Gemini die into opposite corners. I used a sticky adhesive sheet and coated it with Iced Snow, then mounted it under the card with the acetate side upwards showing through the corners. Next I used a piece of card that I had covered with Lava Red and Emerald Green Pixie powders. I cut the Heather backing die out of it, six of the Passion Flowers and the sentiment. I added the decorative Heather die in white to the backing. I cut the centre of the Sophia die in white and cut it in half. I mounted it so it was sticking out from behind the Heather die and attached it in the centre of the card. I used the centre of the Michelle die as a backing for the sentiment, which was cut from the Wedded Bliss Frame I added small earls to each of the flowers and mounted them in opposite corners, adding a thin satin ribbon bow and decorative leaves. The card was completed with white on white mats. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card Sue xx hazel
Hi Sue. You sure know to lift that Monday morning feeling, what a beauty, from the bling to that happy pop of colour, how can anyone not enjoy starting their day with a sample such as this. So you also have the odd 'lingering' part made part finished sample/card sitting in your work area lol phew, thank goodness for that, a true crafter lol. I've had a part made baby boy card order slumped and waiting to be finished for at least a month ! I started it when I was told the baby had been born (28th March ) I then became off colour and ended up in hospital, I did notify the lady that ordered it and said I wouldn't be offended if she wanted to shop buy rather than wait for goodness how long and that she'd probably be asking for this child's 1st birthday card before I felt well enough to do the baby congrats lol. She refuses point blank to shop buy and wouldn't even insult me by buying me a get well, I had to smile at that one bless her heart. So I'm thrilled you also have the hanger on'ers Sue that makes me feel sooo much better thank you lol.
So after my twaddle and life story I'll pop off and send you hugs for the day ☺ xxx
Morning Sue.
Thank you a beautiful card, pretty colours.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good morning Sue
Stunning card! I love all the dies used today (especially the 'Heather one' lol!). I think iced snow is my absolute favourite of all my glitters and is definately my most used. The pixie powder Passion flowers are beautiful I love the pearls in the centre as well. The Gemini sets of dies are always my first purchase of each launch and this one is gorgeous.
Hugs x

You know how to tempt us. Sending best wishes to everyone this very dull morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Beautiful I love the red and green pop of colour
I know nature has a lot of red and green together but I’m colour blind so I find it hard to put red and green together But I will give it a try
Hi Sue,
This is absolutely stunning - I think most of us have used that word today - love everything about it, the combination of dies is spot-on with the lovely Crux in the background, just the right amount of bling with the Iced Snow peeping through the cuts and you picked the perfect strong colours of Pixie Powders to add that Wow! factor to the flowers, sentiment and backing plate - all-in-all Sue, a masterpiece!!

Hello Sue!
A really beautiful card to brighten up a very wet morning in West Sussex, in fact the sun is niot to be seen again until Thursdsy!
I have just bought the Crux die as I really like it. Lava Red and Emerald Green Pixie Powders go so well together and add a great touch to this gorgeous card.

Hello Sue and all

Crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy
Hi Sue
A very pretty card. Love the dies you have used and the pixie powder looks great. Obviously, I love the flowers too.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue, a stunning card. I love how you have used your beautiful Gemini die and the splash of colour with your Pixie powders on the flowers. All totally gorgeous.
What lovely dies these are - love the background and the colours are so pretty. Thank you Sue
I'm a big Crux fan, too, and also love the Passion Flowers. Unlike everyone else, though, I didn't like the red and green Pixie Powders, unless those were the wedding colors. To me, they messed up the purity of the all-white wedding card. On the other hand, those little pearls in the centers of the flowers just make me melt.
I was thinking that if you put the paper with the Crux apertures onto the sticky paper first, and then applied the Iced Snow, you wouldn't waste a lot of Iced Snow under the focal element, which covers the entire center of the card. Unless I'm missing something.
This weekend, I discovered that one set of the little flowers that came with the Spring Branch is just the right size to fill the little flower shapes in the Flora die. Takes forever but really pretty.
Best to all,
Donita in Rhode Island
Hi Sue, Beautiful card . love Jean Z xxx

The Crux Gemini die is so lovely, as is this card.
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card for us to admire and drool over today!! I particularly like the Passion flowers especially with the pixie powders on them. What a fabulous combination of colours in the Lava Red and Emerald Green - will definitely be giving that one a go!
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
I like the design of this and the way you have used the acetate. I am not so sure about the colours with this though as much as I love Pixie Powders normally.
Teresa
Love this. X
What a gorgeous card, Sue. I love those flowers and use mine such a lot. Just got back from spending time with my sister. Why is there never enough time to smell the roses,
However I do love your card today, it is so pretty. Many of our younger generation appreciate colourful weddings and this would be a great card to send them. Hugs xx Pauline
beautiful post and love that mix of pixie powders....
Hi Sue, Beautiful Card today, Love the Pixi Powders. This card really sings to me. Hugs Brenda xxx
Gorgeous card, love the colours too
Hi Sue,
Elegant and beautiful card for an anniversary, or any other occasion with a different sentiment.In my opinion, the colors are unusual for a wedding card, but who said it has to be for a wedding, right?
Hugs from Toronto to you all and special hugs to all missing friends.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette

Hello Sue,
A glorious combination of dies in your card today that speaks of elegance and grace. Love the bling behind the Crux die cuts. Your pixie powders give an autumnal feel to the card.
Beverly
beautiful card !
Evening Sue. A beautiful sparkly card. Those Passion Flowers look gorgeous with the Pixies behind them. Xx
Hi Sue
What a lovely card you’ve made.
Lovely card Sue, especially love the colors of the pixie powders. The dies are amazing, thanks for you ideas.
Fabulous card. Wish I'd known you were going to feature this beauty today. On Sunday I spent ages tracking down this card and another one using the Passion Flower die. Love the Gemini Crux and the pixied flowers together. I don't have all the dies you've used in the centre of the card but I'm sure I can find suitable substitutes to be able to make a version of this lovely card.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue. Lovely card, great colours. Sue xxx

What a gorgeous card. I really love the pixie colours.
What a beautiful card Sue.My wish list is screaming at me as I don't have any of these dies and although I'm building up my supply of Pixie Powders I don't have these colours.
I just watched Hochanda on my PC and your dies on there are also shouting BUY ME BUY ME
I think it's time that I stopped buying for a while and started using the ones I have.
Absolutely everything about today's card is gorgeous. Thank you so much Sue.

Hi Sue,
When I saw this card I thought "WOW", it is absolutely beautiful, both the dies used and the pixied cardstock. Just fabulous, right up my street. Thank you for showing us.

Hi Sue
Striking card, love the colours used. I don't have much success with pixie powders, I only have a few so perhaps it's my choice of colours that's wrong.
