Love Ya

 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

    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 💖

    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.
