Hello Friend
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of pixied card from my stash to use for today's card. I used Emerald Green, Olive Green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders on it. Next I used the Poinsettia Scalloped Border and cut four of the scalloped lattice die in the set. I cut two in white and two in black. I shadowed each of the white die cuts with the black die cuts. I glued them to the top and bottom edges of the pixied card background. I cut two thin strips of the piexied card and added black and white mats to them and glued them to the top and bottom edges of the pixied card. I cut the Hello Friend in black and glued it to a white shadow backing then added it to the centre of the card. Using the Pinwheel Florals, I made a white flower and added it to the lower corner with foliage as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" 8 1/4" in size.
Hello Sue, a very elegant card. I love the scalloped border die and the variations in colour of the pixie card is so pretty

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Oh a beautiful card today. I love how you have used the Poinsettia lattice border. I bought this set before Christmas and put
ReplyDeleteit down on my work top. When I came to use it for my cards I couldn't find it I searched all over for it. When I cleared away after Xmas I FOUND IT. Typical. Well at least you have given me a reason to open it and have a go with it. Thankyou Sue Looking forward to the new launch tomorrow. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
