Good Sunday morning all! It's a really quick, easy card for today's offering. I started with the background (which I already had in my background pile) but it is
Pixies Powders. I used
Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon, fairly heavily to cover the entire piece. I cut the
Sailboat Stained Glass and glued it on top of the dry background. Next I used the fall away pieces from the boat and paper pieced them back into the boat to make it more focal. I just put a bit of
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue on the back of each of the pieces then pieced them in. I had left a wide border around the sailboat when I initially cut it so I just made a thin border to add to it using the
Double Stitched Rectangle die set. I mounted it with foam for a bit of dimension to it. White on white layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x 7" in size. all for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, I don't know if there is much more I can say about today's sample other than I really love these stained glass collections and the background on this is just amazing. Lot's to do as it's market day. Hoping lots of people feel like a walk in a beautiful country park to walk off their big fried Sunday breakfast - it would also help if they needed a card or two as I need a whole bunch of your dies to help me make cards for them !! Lol. Keep your fingers crossed for me Sue 😕
Sending Sunday hugs and hope you have a good day xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful creation, am loving the colours you have used to create such a beautiful background, and of course the sailing boat stain glass is so effective against this background, beautiful.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue
This is a lovely card and probably the best that I have seen with this die and as is often the case it is the background that has made it so. You have captured a stormy sky beautifully with this background setting the ship off perfectly. Very atmospheric indeed.
Have a great Sunday whatever you are doing.

Good Morning Sue and all..
Stunning card this morning , the colours you have created with the pixie powders work beautifully with sail boat. Adding a few pieces back into the boat really brings the design together.
Crafty hugs and well wishes to all. Wendy
Morning Sue.

You have inspired me, Sue, to get this die out and try it with a pixie powder background. Thank you.

Hi sue,
Lovely Sunday morning card!
Di Di from broadstairs Kent.
The way Pixie Powders determine their own way reminds me of the saying that art is a collaboration between God and the artist. The less the artist does, the better. But somehow your talent gets God to smile upon you with good Pixie outcomes. My Pixies always seem to be involved in a contract dispute, so they’re not going to tap out of the container, and they’re not going to do anything creative when the spritz
comes along.
Such a dramatic sky! It tells a different story than the die by itself tells.
Best,
Donita
Hello Sue, I really like the stained glass effect cards . So clever to come up with this idea. Today's card is beautiful and the colours are stunning. Xx

Very effective background. It really looks like a stormy sky and the boat stands out so clearly. Fab! X

Hi Sue
A gorgeous card and a beautiful background, so effective as a stormy sea.
Don't have any pixie powders but this is definitely tempting me to try some.
Your lovely die just sets it all off too.

Great card. The background, is it just pixies on card with water or have you used acetate/tissue or glue? Only asking because the colour vibrancy and sheen is very intenseand more than I seem to be getting! Maybe I'm just too stingy with them!
Hi Sue
A lovely card today. It looks so complicated, but, you showed me how easy this was at Ally Pally.
Good morning Sue
Fabulous card! I love the colours you've used they are so pretty! I received my winning die thank you so much I might get to use it today because I've booked a few days off.
Hugs x

This is such a lovely card, the background really sets of the die beautifully, you are so clever x
The background is fabulous and really enhances the stained glass effect.
Hi Sue,
Oh WOW, this is a fabulous background. I'm with "Cards Books and Babies", with my query , is it just Pixies or have you added Acetate/tissue or glue? It looks very dramatic, A STUNNER of a background. And that boat in white adds to the drama.
Hugs, Rose
Absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Sue,
Stunning card! I love your stained glass collection.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue this definitely looks as though it should be a window in a house. Delightful. Love from Jackie xx
I have most of the stained glass dies and love playing with them, a great idea here, beautiful card....luv Ursula xx
I enjoy working with your stain glass dies. So pleased you are showing more "looks" and techniques for these dies. I am liking this moody background for this card. Seems I need to get my pixie powders out and make some moody backgrounds. Wonder if I will remember my gloves this time?
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. That die is one of my favourites. I just love the stained glass dies. Enjoy the rest of the day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
