Hi bloggers! I selected a rather wild green background from my stash to use as a starting point for today's card. I used Olive Green, Emerald green Peacock green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders. Using the Round Corner Squares, I made a multi-layered frame with a white base and a smaller black frame on top. I also cut two white mats using the Round Corner Squares and layered them then glued them inside the frame to the pixied background. I cut the Wreath Frame in black and glued it to the white mats. I made a smaller frame using a leftover piece of the pixie card and added it to the wreath with mounting foam. I cut the word Joyful out of white card, then nipped away the last letters leaving the word Joy. I glued it inside the frame in the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.
Guess what? We have another die launch this month which starts tomorrow. It is only a very small release of five dies, but I am very excited to share it with you as it is my very first Halloween release! We will be starting tomorrow morning at 6am. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card Sue, looking forward to tomorrow release xx Hazel
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sample Sue, it's very busy which usually isn't my favourite type of design, I adore clean, peaceful type designs but this is really lovely. Mmmm Halloween dies, I'm intrigued to see how they'll go down here in the UK. I'm really looking forward to this treat.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe and well everyone xxx
A lovely card, I just cannot get enough of the pixie powders for backgrounds, and this one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card thank you.
Looking forward to tomorrow
Halloween is getting to be
very popular here now too.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning creation with that wonderful colourful background, I managed to get the rounded corner dies recently so will have a go at this one. I personally am not sure about Halloween as it is something I am not really interested in but I know that there are lots of people who are.

Good Morning Sue. My favourite background material. Yes I love it. A really beautiful card. I love the whole thing. From the pixie to the beautiful Joy sentiment in the centre. And if I wanted a Christmas card ... say ... for a brother or any male friend this would be just the job. Thankyou Sue.

Hi Sue, I really like this very different style of card and I love that mix of green pixies. I don't "do" Halloween but I know a lot of younger people do enjoy it so I shall look forward to seeing your designs even though they won't be for me.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Hi Sue. Love that pixie background. I would usually use gold with green, but it looks as though there is green within the powders already so it wouldn't sow up against it so well. Black is a good choice instead.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
I was just playing with this die yesterday. Love this card. I need to make some backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about your Halloween dies also! I saw on Jamie's FB or an email from CE can't remember but after Christmas I love making Halloween cards and mail out 10-12 every year so some fresh toys and ideas are welcome.
Hope everyone is having a good start to their week,
Stephanie K
