You Are The Best

 Hi bloggers!  I thought I would share another card that uses the new Pixie Sparkles today!  I started with a piece of white card and use the Fuchsia Rose, the Pale Blush and Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles all over the card.  I spritzed it with water to activate the powder.  I decided to use a brush to move the colour  all over the card.  Once dry, I used the Millie die to cut an aperture in the centre.   I used the Rope Chain embossing folder and added some texture to the background, then added mounting foam to the back.  I added the background over another piece of white card, then recessed the fall away centre piece from the background, back into place.  I cut the Millie die in white and glued it in the aperture too.  I cut the You Are The Best sentiment out of an extra bit of the Pixied Sparkle card and glued it to a circle then in the middle of the Millie die.  I made a single flower using the solid flower from the Striped Nasturtium set and added a couple of leaves from the Lace Edged Leaves as accents.  I used the Striped Swirl  Edger  set and cut two thin decorative borders from the Sparkle card and glued them to a strip of white card then to the edges of the card.  I used the outer two cutting dies form the Millie set and cut a white frame and glued it to the outside of the aperture.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x 8 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue if I was brilliant with maths I'd work out how many comments I'd posted over the years and how many times I'd used the same expressions to put your inspiration into words, but my maths are as hit and miss as my card making unlike this beautiful sample, I just know I'll fall in love with the sparkles but I'm so frustrated that I'm not needing to replace any craft stock, it's sad, so sad that our world has changed to such an extent. On the plus side we're seeing the odd new name since launch but unfortunately a lot of people disappear never to be seen again until the next beautiful launch, so I'll send my love to all that visit today and please STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 😘

Good Morning Sue and all.
A beautiful card, one that makes me wish my dies were more organised. Mind you, I think this one is beyond my capabilities but I can dream can't I.
I just love everything about it.
Thank you Sue.

Good Mornings Sue. Wow so pretty ... I just love the colours on the embossed background. And I knew that the main focal die was Millie as soon as I opened up. She is one of my all time favourites along with Maggie. Its a pity we dont have real time blog pictures so we can see the new sparkle on the new pixie powders. Would love to see them close up. Beautiful card Sue. Thankyou. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.x x

Hi Sue. What a very pretty card today. I do love those pixie sparkles, they really make the background sing which means you don't have to add too many other embellishments, helping with postal costs.

Hi Sue and everyone who pops by today. A very beautiful and feminine card today. I love the new pixie sparkles too and watched all Jamie's shows, now that I can actually record them. There are so many fabulous techniques I might need to try some with my pixie powders until I can purchase the sparkles. I love crafting but I need to buy everything haha. Anyway I digress, what a gorgeous piece of inspiration you have for us today. I doook forward to seeing your cards every day hugs Donna xx

freedomlass said...

What a stunning card, I love how by using the brush to blend the colours further has worked another thing I'm going to have to try out, I tried 3 different ones yesterday and can't wait to turn them into some 'hopefully' stunning cards.

Many thanks for all your inspiration.

Hi Sue
A beautiful card featuring the new pixie sparkles, love the tip about using a brush and must try that. Always regret not adding Millie to my collection but now that I’m into making slimline cards she wouldn’t fit!!

Love and hugs to everyone
Pat

Scottydog said...

What a beauty! Those colours are soft & dreamy giving the card a shabby chic look. I can’t wait to try the sparkles but until I start selling again I have to curb my spending. Hopefully things will look up in the summer. Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue, I love the soft and gentle look to this card. I also love Millie and although I do not yet have any pixie sparkles I think that I will try to achieve something similar with ordinary pixies and the silver one.
