Wishing You Well

Hello bloggers!  I tried a new combnation of pixie powders for the background on this card.  I used Golden Mint, Sun Yellow and Mango Blaze pixie powders.  I really liked the fresh, bright colour it gave me, so different from any I have done before!  I cut the Butterfly Frame in both white and black and used it as a shadow, then glued it over the pixied background.  I cut the centre square out of the die into a leftover piece of the pixied card and glued it in the centre of the frame.  Using the Wishing You Well sentiment, I cut it in both white and black, shadpwed it and glued it in the middle.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  6 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Oh wow Sue it's no wonder you were delighted with how your background turned out it's so fresh and summery with a dash of zing zest, I have those powders so guess what I'll be doing today, I know it will be completely different but isn't that the fun and wonder pixie powders bring. Beautiful Saturday inspiration thank you. Hope you are well and happy and things are calming down a little there. STAY SAFE AND SENSIBLE you are all precious virtual friends ❤ xxx

Hi Sue. Well that is certainly a bright and sunny colour choice. I think I may have used it against black card to make the colours pop even more.

Princess Pixie! said...

Hi Sue
Wow wow wow. Those colours look AMAZING. Not a combination I’ve tried but I think I will now x
The Butterfly Frame - a wonderful blast from the past. You spoil us so much with so many beautiful dies that we forget what we have. It is lovely to be reminded x
I have been looking at all the cards I missed whilst out of action and my goodness you really pulled out all the stops for this Festive Collection Sue. Every single card has the wow factor and more! I haven’t been able to catch up on commenting on them all, there are too many for me to play catch up x
Take care and stay safe everyone x

Hello Sue
What a great combination of Pixie Powders used together to make this fabulous card.
The Butterfly Frame has always been a favourite die of mine and have used it many times with my own colour combinations and it always looks so different each time.
I think it is time to spend an afternoon making up a new batch of colour combinations for future use!
