On Your Special Day

Hello there my crafty friends!  I found this pixied card in my craft stash to use for the background on today's card.  I used Aqua Lagoon, Golden Mint and Candy Pink Pixie Powders.  I cut the Noble Looped Ovals and matted together two of them cut in white.  Using the Layered Magnolia die, I made two sections and lightly inked the flowers with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.  I cut the stems out of brown card and added green leaves to them.  I added the two sections on opposite sides of the ovals.  I cut the On Your Special Day sentiment  in brown and added it on to a white shadow backing die cut and attached it in the middle of the card.  I added several clear water crystals to the background as accents.  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

Hi Sue. What a lovely background today, it reminds me of a bright sunny day in summer for the lovely flowers to come out and show off their splendour.

A lovely card but it is the background that makes it, I must try that combination of pixies, they work well together. Thank you Sue.
