Season's Greetings
Hi there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of white card and cut an aperture in the middle using the Double Stitched Ovals. I used the ovals to make a thin frame in white that I added around the outside of the aperture. I added mounting foam to the back of the piece, then added a piece of pixied card to the back. I used Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders on the piece, then covered it with some scrunched up cling film and set it aside to dry. Using the Snowflake Tree-O die set, I cut two of the trees out of white gloss card and added white backing pieces to them. I added the trees in the aperture with mounting foam. I cut the Noble Season's Greetings die out of the leftover pixied card and glued it to the bottom of the card. I added some pixied stars random around the background. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning.
Ohhh my ... What a beautiful card today. I love it. And what did I say about backgrounds just the other day. I knew this was pixie powder as soon as I saw it. What I love about these is every one is different. You never get the same. This has to be on my list to make. Thankyou Sue.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏

Morning Sue, I absolutely love this card, it is simple enough, but still very striking. Need to get a wiggle on with my pixied backgrounds that I want to use on my Christmas cards. Bx
Lovely card. Even if you were unable to reproduce the pixie background, a beautiful blue I think would suffice. WakeyL
Hi Sue

Love and hugs to everyone
