Best Wishes
Hello crafters! I started today's card by selecting a piece of pixied card from my stash. I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powders on it. I covered the piece with cling film and scrunched it up and set it aside to dry overnight. I removed the cling film and used it. I cut the Slimline Anniversary Hearts die in white. I glued it to the pixied card. I cut the outer die from the set in white and added it to the card as a base behind the main focal element. Using the Everyday Wordie sheets, I cut the Best Wishes out and added it with mounting foam to the lower section of the card. I added small flatback white pearls to the focal element. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5" x 9 1.2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful blue background colour to this wonderful die set, I have this and have paper pierced different colours within the hearts it comes out amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Yes my favourite shape again this morning. A D.L. Card was my first hand made card ... It was for my niece and she also became hooked in crafting. So today's Card... as always is fabulous and I am going to invest in this lovely little die. I think it will be so usefull and versatile.Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
A lovely card, your DL cards are always popular & also sell well, always a plus as I sell my cards for charity. This die is on my never ending list. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue. I don't know why, but I would always automatically use hearts with red card or put them on a red background. Just look at what I am missing out on! This shows I should think about other colours, especially for anniversary cards.
