You're The Best

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by making the background using Pixie Sparkles.  I tapped Groovy Grape and Coral Crush Pixie Sparkles all over the card, then spritzed it with water to activate the powder.  I allowed it to dry well then cut an aperture in the centre using the Millie die cutting edge.  I embossed the background with the Rope Chain embossing folder, then added mounting foam to the back of the card.  I added the background to another piece of white card then recessed the piece that was cut out of the aperture down into the centre.  I cut the Millie die in white and glued it into the aperture centre too.  I used the two outer cutting edges from the Millie die to make a thin decorative frame that I glued to the outside edge of the aperture opening.  I had some leftover bits from the pixied background so I cut the You Are The Best sentiment out of it as well as the two thin side borders.  I glued the sentiment into the centre of the card.  I added a white strip of card to the side borders (which were cut from the Linear Elegance Edger set) so they stood out a bit more then glued them to the edges of the card.  I cut a flower from the Striped Nasturtium die and made it 3 dimensional, glittered it then added it to the corner of the Millie die with a couple of Lace Edged Leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are  in 7 1/2"  x  8 1/2" size.  All for now.

  12. Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card Sue. A true original Sue Wilson Card. We would know that style anywhere. And because it's yours it is lovely. Who else would bring us shimmery embossed pastel backgrounds. And if you are a wilsonette you would know that Millie has made an appearance this morning. My all time favourite die. But how can I say that... they are all my favourites. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today

    PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏.

    Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
