Hello bloggers! I started by cutting the
Square Aperture out of a piece of
Pixie Sparkled card from my stash. I used
Beyond Blue and Groovy Grape and then used a paintbrush to combine the colours a bit. I lined up the aperture with a piece of white card and taped the inner scalloped dies into place then cut it. I glued the white scalloped piece to the pixied aperture and added mounting foam to raise it. I added a white backing piece to it. Using the
Double Stitched Squares, I added a white frame on top of the pixie sparkled aperture too. Next I used the
Springtime Frame and cut it out of various colours (silver, tan. rust, green and wisteria). Rather than cutting the entire frame each time, I just used a small piece of card over the area that I wanted. I nipped apart the images and used them in three of the four apertures. I used the
You Are My Sunshine in the fourth aperture, cut out of a leftover piece of the pixied card and shadowed in black. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely happy card to start the week so pretty thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
It's a beautiful start to the day, in reality it's dark and damp here just now, but like the rest of your audience of bloggers we sit and wait for the warmer days. Whilst going through my 2 storage boxes of dies wondering how much my new idea for storage will cost I eventually got to my shadow dies and my other gardening dies and couldn't remember how long it's been since I cut them,I'm in the process of doing the easiest CAS 6x6 - 1 die cut, 1 sentiment and thanks to your dies it's all looking really quite nice, these sweet little springtime dies would be perfect in your Shadow dies too. Off to the farm cottage for a week of doing nothing and thinking about nothing to be ourselves again so I hope I have enough data saved to pop in,if not I'm sure 'my keeper' will help lol.
ReplyDeleteKeep well, be safe xxx
Morning Sue, such a lovely card this morning, everything is just perfect and another of my favourite sentiment dies. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning creation, what I always like about your dies are the amazing depth of the embossing on them and this is shown on all the little elements cut out for this sample, I don't know any other dies like these, thank you xx

A lovely bright, spring looking card today, just what we need on this dark, wet, dreary day. You must have so many pixied papers in your stash collection Sue! I make a batch then use them almost straight away! Thank you for the inspiration Sue.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. A lovely card today Sue. I always love your pixie powder backgrounds. I keep promising myself some pixie sparkles ... But other things keep getting in the way. A great card this morning for all the gardeners ... and this design can be made into anybody's favourite things because of all your versatile mini accessories that fit into those lovely aperture dies. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
ReplyDeletePLEASE STAY SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue - I love this card so much! And it just goes to show - yet again! - the versatility of your dies, in that many of the frames can be cut up to use as inserts for these new squares collection. Genius! Colleen xx

Morning Sue, a lovely way to begin the week by giving us all a beautiful card to admire instead of looking outside at this dreary weather. It reminds us that Spring isn't too far away and we can get back into our gardens once more. Crafty Hugs Pauline x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a lovely card to remind us all that spring is on the way. Apparently, the weather is supposed to cheer up towards the weekend which should encourage the crocuses which are just trying to peep through the soil.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Beautiful card, I love these little aperture cards, you can include so much on them....my garden is full of crocus and daffodils at the moment, sadly the snowdrops are on their way out.....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a bright, cheery card to start the week off.

so nice card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love this gorgeous card and it has given me ideas for a 70th birthday card for my cousin who is a keen gardener. I thought I had the Springtime Frame but my database says no. I do however have lots of your other gardening themed dies so maybe I can work something out.
ReplyDeleteSteph - enjoy your week away and come back with your batteries fully re-charged.

ReplyDeleteI lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
