Happy Anniversary
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of pixied card made with Midnight Blue Pixie Powder. I cut the Loving Heart Frame center dies first. I cut two of the larger squares and one of the smaller squares. I overlapped them and wove a long strip of white card through them and taped it in place from the back. I attached it to the centre of the card. I cut the heart frame from the set and nipped it into a couple of pieces and added them to the top and bottom area of the previously attached squares. I cut the small frame from the set into four pieces and attached them to the corners of the card. Next I cut the Happy Anniversary sentiment in black and added it on to a white backing piece. I added it to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. This is beautiful just beautiful. The post sounds complicated as I'm a learner through watching not reading, or just dumb lol either way I love starting my day the Particraft way. Stay safe everyone and hugs all round xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful blue background, I will have to get mine out and have a play. The centre is stunning, love the weaving of the banner through the frames, yes perfect card today.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x I love how you have configured the loving hearts frame, the dies are so versatile x the background is gorgeous too x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue. So nice to see the reappearance of the buckle card and I love the way the altered heart frame sits so nicely at the top and the bottom. Who wouldn't be pleased to receive a card such as this.
Hi Sue Amazing what you can do with just one die and I do mean you Sue, i don’t know how you can look at a die and come up with such an intricate design. Love the pixied background too
Hi Sue, a very nice card indeed. The Midnight Blue seems a little strong for me, maybe a slightly lighter shade would suit. We know photographs don't always tell the full story so in real life it probably looks differently.
A truly beautiful card Sue, At first I thought it a bit complicated, but, after reading it a couple of times it all fell into place, you are one very cleaver lady. Marlene O
