Friend

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card with a Pixie Sparkle background made using Beyond Blue.  I sprinkled it all over the white card, spritzed it then covered it with a piece of cling film and scrunched it all up.  I allowed it to dry over night then removed the cling film.  I used the Cut Corner Rectangles and cut a frame out of the centre.  I added a piece of clear acetate to the back of the frame.  I cut a wider white frame using the dies and added mounting foam to the backs of both frame and attached them together.  I taped the centre fall out section from the frame to another piece of card, added the outer piece of pixied sparkled card to it, then added the frame with the mounting foam to the background.  I used the flowers from the Magnolia Corner to cut multiples of the flowers from the piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it.  I glittered all the flowers then assembled them and added them in clusters in opposite corners.  I used the Magnolia Corner cut in white added as accents around the flowers.  I cut the Friend die in white and added it to the shadow backing in white and glued onto the acetate in the frame.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the tag die and added it below.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8"  in size.

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be doing the entire launch show tonight at 6pm on Create and Craft tv via zoom link (fingers crossed the wifi signal is behaving itself!)  I hope you will be able
to drop by and see the demos and samples.  All for now. Sue x

Good Morning Sue. Ohhhh my. What a fabulous colour you have created with your lovely sparkle pixies. I love this and it so reminds me of my favourite place in the world 🌎 in Turkey. It is known as the Turquoise Coast.
Your sample today is so neat and clean looking. What friend wouldn't love this one to drop through the letter box And with a sentiment change would be fitting for any occasion. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them.

PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonetts.
A beautiful card on this beautiful SUNNY Monday morning.
I really love the card you have done for us today with the lovely colours and clean lines. I must have missed a posting as I didn't know you were going to be on TV this evening. I don't have a TV but can usually bring it up on my desktop and will certainly try.
Have a great day everyone.
Marie P.

KEEP SAFE.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Love today's card for the same reasons as I loved yesterday's - although this one has a bit more detail. The cut corner rectangles give the card an air of grandeur and I love the teal colour against the white.
