Hi bloggers! I decided on a white embossed background for this one and went in to my pixie powder stash for the forefront. I used Purple Violet, Plum Twist and Midnight blue Pixie Powders. I used my pixied background to cut the Cecelia die as a focal element and the Love Ya letters from the Carousel Alphabet. I stamped the Carousel Horse out of black ink and used Distress Markers to colour it in (Shaded Lilac and Seedless Preserves). I added the horse to the centre of the Cecelia die with foam cut thinly and mounted behind the pole. I cut black shadows for each of the letters and offset them behind them, then glued the letters vertically on either side of the horse, skewing towards opposite corners. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
A lovelt nostalgic card, thank you.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Hi sue.
A vibrant lovely piece of inspiration today, those pixie powders really hit the spot it's a fact that the using the same colour palette will always give a different end result, that's what I call value for money, just like your dies, one die, many many different designs from around the globe.
Sending love. STAY SAFE IN 21 xxx 💖
Beautiful card Sue, great colour xx Hazel
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, the Celia and carousel horse are perfect on this sample, love the colour choice too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Beautiful card Sue.
I just love the cards with the carousel horse on. It takes me back in time to when my children were young and on the Fairground. Lovely thoughts and lovely card.
Thank you Sue

Hi Sue
Lovely card. For some reason this took me back to my childhood. I think it’s the colours as well as I remember having a purple phase, where that’s all I liked. I was only about 7 though.
Happy 70th Birthday Doreen. I hope you enjoy your day. x
Love Helen xxx

Hi Sue, I love this card for the beautiful pixie colours, gorgeous Cecelia and the lovely carousel horse. I would, however, have to change the sentiment to 'Love You' - no way could I bring myself to say 'Ya' :-)
Doreen (dj) - Happy Birthday to you, I hope you have been able to enjoy your day albeit not in the way you would have hoped for.
Frances
Love this card but not too sure about the sentiment!
Happy Birthday Doreen.
