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
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. What a gorgeous Anniversary card. Love it. I have the Jewelled Border They are so versatile . I clip into them to make all sorts of fancy shapes when I need something different. So a big yes from me ... And a true Sue card from you. Thankyou. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE 🎂🍾🍰 ((SMITH ) Hope you have a lovely day.
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.
Hi Sue Today’s card is so elegant, love the jewelled border and you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous pixie powder background. I’m now the happy owner of your bubble tree die and I can’t wait for some me time to start making Christmas cards
