Hi there my crafty friends! Today's card is actually a leftover piece from something else I made, but waste not, want not, right? I started with a piece of
coconut white card and repeatedly cut the
Evergreen branch from it. I decided it would look really nice with a piece of pixie powdered background behind it. i used
Pale Olive, Emerald Green and Golden Mint Pixie powders and spritzed them with water. I allowed them to dry well, then attached it behind my cut out background. I cut the
Merry & Bright out of
Ruby Red card and added them on to a white shadow backing. I added foam to the words and mounted them in the centre of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beauty today, I love recycling and left overs and this is the perfect way to use them up, this is so pretty and all that effort of cutting out the shapes has not been wasted, yes perfect start to today.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xx
Morning Sue, love this card, so quick and simple to make but looks stunning! Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, what a stunning card, love the simplicity of it, it is however very striking. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHiya Sue. Why do world's keep failing me? Is it the time and my brain isn't quite awake or could it be that you never fail to show us something different and out of the box, just that hint of beautiful colour of Pixies smiling through the background which some of us would put into our paper recycling bin but we've been 'bought up by the best' so like yourself Sue we have all collected frames,fall aways for shakers and cut into cardstock by the bag full lol, its just that your recycling looks so much more professional hence the outcome is a card anyone would be proud to give or receive. Have a great day whatever your doing xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue xx Hazel

Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteMy plans for today have just been put on one side because of your posting.I was planning to empty at leas one of my 'waste' bins into a re-cycle bag without looking at the contents. Now I feel that I should make at least one or two (Or Ten) cards using ONLY cardstock from the bin
I love the card you have shown us today, you do set us a good example.
Have a great day.

Hello Sue, a lovely festive card and from lots of bits and piece. Recycling at its best xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, what a brilliant way to use a left-over piece of card. I love the randomness of the Evergreen Branch placement and the pixie colours used. The Merry & Bright sentiment says it all.

Love how this Evergreen Branch is so delicate. Wish I had it in my collection of dies. Great use of your waste card. The pixie powdered background is perfect for the branches. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBelieve or not but I gone and bought the Evergreen Branch
twice so the cutting outs will go ever so quickly to do 😀
A gorgeous card and so lovely background, do have to dig out
those pixies again as soon the x-mas cards are done and gone.
Warm hugs to all, Maria x
What a lovely card Sue, love the branches that you cut out of the card so the pixie powders showed through!!!So simple but so amazing!

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteHow lovely your card is today. It looks like something planned and certainly not a leftover piece. It is so bright and cheerful and with a different sentiment could be used for almost any occasion.
Have a wonderful day.
