Sweet Wishes

 Hi bloggers!  I started todays card by creating the background which uses Pixie Sparkles.  I used the Teal Marine Pixie Sparkle all over a piece of card and then spritzed it with water.  I used the Slimline Essential Frames and cut the centre out of the pixied background, then added a thin white frame around the aperture.  I added mounting foam to raise it then recessed the pixied centre into it.  I cut the Slimline Decorative Rectangle Aperture Trio in white and glued it into the recessed centre.  Using the Here's The Scoop and Treat Yourself Cupcakes die sets, I cut the cupcakes and cone out of tan card.  I used powder pink tops for all of the sweet treats, then added cherries on top of a couple of them.  I used mounting foam to add them to the top and bottom sections.  I used the Sweet Wishes sentiment cut in white and glued it to the centre section.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  3. Morning from Lancashire. Gosh its been a while since this collection was launched but how lovely they look with the slimline frames, I know every launch is successful but something as simple as these must have been a brilliant sell out idea they fit with everything you've designed from the beginning. Have a lovely day wherever you are planning, stay safe, keep caring xxx

  27. Hi Sue. Having looked at all the photos I would have sworn that the pixied background had been made using acetate as it was so shiny - but no - it was card that you used. What a great way for us diabetics to enjoy sweet treats!

    Hi Sue,
    No matter how cold it is outside, I always have room for an ice-cream, and this looks good enough to eat. The wafers in particular.
