Spread Your Wings & Fly

Hi craftera!  Time for another quick, but beautiful card!  I started with my Pixie Powders, midnight blue and Aqua Lagoon.  I spritzed them with water, then allowed it to dry well.  I used the outer die from the Spread Your Wings All in One and cut the backing out of the pixie powdered background.  Next I cut the Spread YOur Wings die out of white twice and stacked them.  I used a couple of small pieces of card with sticky adhesive sheets attached and laid them over the area where the birds were and cut them.  I nipped away anything attached to the birds, then peeled the backing off and glittered the birds with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I glued them on to the birds in the All in One and attached it to the backing piece.  I cut a white frame from the Double Stitched Rectangles and added foam to raise it.  I added it to another piece of white card, then attached the die into the centre of it.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  1. Absolutly sheer beauty to start or end our day, this collection of dies turn a card into a gift and a card into stunning artwork worthy of mounting into a frame. Just imagine giving this to someone starting a new chapter in their life - a new home, a new country, you could even do the background to mix in with the colour of the room you are displaying this gift it, or even a celebratory gift to yourself for getting to your craftroom after a long recovery from a nasty surgery, either way this is stunning inspiration and so appropriate for all that's going on just now. Thinking of your both and to all the visit today ..... STAYING SAFE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING xxx ❤

  10. Hello Sue
    This is a lovely card and hopefully one day soon we can all spread our wings and fly. It's the children I worry about isolated and no school I rang my 13 year old granddaughter yesterday and she just burst into tears really upsetting. Take care everyone x

    Good Morning Sue.
    I agree with everything the early birds on here have said. it's a gorgeous card and the Pixie Powders make a wonderful background. I wonder where the bird at the top is going, I think maybe most of us wish we could spread our wings and fly.
    You never cease to amaze me with all the inspiration we get on a daily basis.

    KEEP SAFE KEEP CRAFTING

    HUGS.

  21. Hi Sue. I love these dies as it is so easy to make either a really quick and easy card or you can do something more involved by making a more decorative background or adding extra details to the top. Love this card, the colours are great.

  30. A really lovely card. Don’t we all wish we could spread our wings and fly at the moment?!
    For those on Facebook (or even if you’re not like me), on Fred Olsen Cruises Facebook page, there is a craft demonstration video which I was asked to do for their virtual cruise. It could be useful to pass the time!

    I like the double stacking of the main Spread Your Wings All in One die and the added glittered birds. As always I appreciate and like your multi layered frames, including the step up and step down technique with the frames, and your Pixie Powdered backgrounds. Lovely all around design. Hugs

  47. A great sentiment that encourages and I like that. My granddaughter is a talented archer so I’d love to include this on a card for her before a tournament. I know she’d love it! Thank you for continuing to give us so many wonderful sentiments.
