Spooky Greetings
Hello there my crafty friends! I recently had a visit from my Grandkids and they made this Pixie Powder background so I cut it in half and used it to make a couple of cards. They used Aqua Lagoon, Midnight Blue and Midnight Sky Pixie Powders on it. I cut a white circle and added it to the card as a moon. I cut the Witch from the Witching Hour die set in black and glued it to the moon. I added three bats around the moon that I cut off of the Spider Web and Bat Border die. I cut three of the Spooky Trees in black and glued them to the bottom of the card. I added the sentiment cut in black out of the Spooky Tree die set. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all that fly through. We're not into Halloween in the UK as much as the USA but oh how I wish we were at times like this, your dies and inspiration are perfect and always bound to set a large smile on my face. All I can say is totally perfect, started my day with a smile again lol Love to all xxx
Good morning Sue, a great card. I’m sure your grandkids enjoyed making the background. When my granddaughter was younger (she is 15 now) she always asked if she could make the colourful backgrounds. The most fun was the spritzing and seeing the colour come to life. I must admit they are my favourite product too Marion Sx

Hi Sue Your grandkids did a great job with the pixie background and I’m sure they enjoyed it, my granddaughter loved playing with pixie powders when she was younger. Super spooky card Missing our own Princess Pixie, hope you’re ok Yvonne
I bet your grandkids love coming to visit you! The pixie powders are just so magical & provide the perfect background here for your spooky card. Thank you Sue.
Those grandchildren are taking after their grandmother. Lovely background for so many cards. This card is terrific....the trees give a really spooky feel. I am waiting for my Halloween dies to arrive. Can't wait. Stephanie K
