Thank You

Hi crafters!  I can't stay away from the Pixie Powders for long so here is another one!  I cut the decorative die from the Heather die set into a piece of coconut white card twice, side by side.  Next I used Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders onto another piece of coconut white card to create a colourful background piece which I glued behind the die cut outs.  I cut the Flora die in white and added it to the centre of the card with small pearls on the flowers.  I created a multi layered frame for my sentiment using the Double Stitched Nobles Octagon die set and added it over a white octagon backing piece.  I cut the Thank You mini Expression die out of a leftover piece of my pixie powder background and glued it to the middle of the frame.  I used the Double Pierced Rectangle dies to add a thin white frame around the entire card then finished it with white on white mats. The finished dimensions are 6" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sue wishing you a day of happiness and love from all that know you, you deserve a rest day maybe ?
    I'm living the Pixie background and the idea of cutting the Heather die into the cardstock is lovely the only thing is that the gorgeous beautiful Flora die is lost just a little and it's far too lush not to stand out maybe it should have had a little blue ink kissed lightly found its edge so we could see it's full beauty but all said a great way to start a special day ☺

    Love todays card, yes another pixie powder tragic, they are so much fun to use and even the "failures" look fabulous behind your dies and flowers. The blues are really lovely in the pixies, they will certainly be the ones to run out first here.
