Fabulous Is What You Are!

Hello there my crafty friends!  I have a "fabulous" card for you today! LOL  I started by creating a pixie powder background.  I used Purple Violet, Aqua Lagoon, Midnight Blue and Emerald Green Pixie Powders.  Once dry, I cut the Fabulous Bold word die out of it eight times.  I embossed a wide strip of it using the Art Deco Flowers embossing folder.  I glued the embossed piece to a piece of white card and then added a thin black strip down the join.  I glued all of the Fabulous die cut down the right side of the card.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment and cut it out with the tag die from the Fabulous Die/Stamp Combo set and added it below the words.  Using the Petal Pocket Flower set, I cut one of each size out of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it.  I glittered the flowers with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then assembled them and added them to the card corner.  I used some Mosaic Leaves in white as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/2" in size. 

I just want to wish a great big Happy Birthday to my good friend Julia Watts today too!   All for now, Sue x

  23. Hi Sue. What a lovely idea to use the same pixied paper to cut out the bold sentiment as you have used for the side panel. The person that you have this in mind for must be a really, really fabulous person indeed!
