Happy Anniversary

 Good Sunday morning all!  I selected a piece from my background stash to use for today's card.  I created it by using Aqua Lagoon and Teal Marine Pixie Powders on a piece of white gloss card then I covered it with some cling film and allowed it to dry overnight.  I cut two of the Draped Jewelled Border in white and glued them to the top and bottom of the Pixied card.   I used the Round Corner Squares and cut a white frame.  I added it over the pixied card using foam mounting tape. I cut the Happy Anniversary sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing die.  I attached it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful card, I love the colouring in the background, and the sentiment and delicate frames, as it is my birthday today I would make this card with a different sentiment and send it to my twin sister.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. Love the colour you have created for the background. I appreciate that there are lots of different coloured cards out there, but they always look a bit flat to me against what can be achieved with pixie powders.
