Christmas Greetings
Hello there my crafty friends! I used some more of my pixied card stash to start today's card. I created the pixied card using (my favourite) Midnight Blue Pixie Powder. I cut the Snowflake Background into the card. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then peeled the backing paper off an attached it behind the background die cut. I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining exposed adhesive. I cut a Pierced Flag die in white and added it across the background with mounting foam. I used the Christmas Greetings sentiment cut out of leftover pixied card and glued it to the flag. I cut a single snowflake and added it to the flag's edge. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. What a vibrant beautiful colour choice and I can only imagine how the light bounces off the glittered background, all in all a real eye opener. Comments maybe all over the place this weekend as I'm on 'Nanny duties" with Lottie and the crazy spaniel as mummy and daddy are off for a long awaited and absolutely deserved spa weekend now every bit of her treatment has come to an end and she's doing a day a week slow return to work. Hope everyone is well and healthy xxx
