Just A Note To Say

Hi crafters!  I started today's card by creating two pieces of Pixie Sparkled card.  The first piece was created using Pumpkin Patch Pixie Sparkles.  The second piece used Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles.    I used the Pumpkin Patch piece for the background of the card and had some leftover which I used fr paper piecing.  I cut the Chrysanthemum and Gerbera Stained Glass Circle dies out of white card.  I added a hand cut white backing to it then began paper piecing the flowers.  I used a small piece of Green Bay Pixie Sparkled card for the leaves so I cut both of the dies using it then used the leaf fall away pieces.  I used the Just A Note Duo cut in white and added the sentiments in opposite corners of the card.  I added the paper pieced circles with mounting foam to the card in opposite corners.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 1/2"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue, it's lovely to see your new stained glass dies this morning they really are pretty and look stunning in this design. I'll have to go back and read your instructions but for now I'll keep admiring this beautiful work of art.
    I don't know if you noticed my added on reply to my post the other day but I received my really useful Expression die, I can't believe that out of all the gorgeous new dies you spent months perfecting my hopes of being chosen to receive the Happy Retirement came true lol thanks Sue and thanks to the CE team for posting it out so quickly xx

    This is a lovely card and great idea but I’m not keen on the background colour. To me, it just doesn’t do the overall card justice. Sorry.

    Wow wow wow! Such a bright and joyful sample. I’m a huge fan of the flower craft dies for a bit of paper piecing and these new round ones are no exception.
