Tis The Season

Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a pixied piece from my background stash.  I used Emerald Green and Pale Olive Pixie Powders all over a piece of white gloss card and spritzed it with water.  I covered it with a piece of cling film and scrunched it up and set it aside to dry overnight.  Using the Snowflake Floating Frame die, I cut the die into the pixied card.  I cut the die a second time out of black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the pixied die cut.  I cut a circle out of the centre of the background.  Next I added small pieces of mounting foam all over the back of the die cut background.  I added the background to a piece of white card.  I cut the Tis The Season sentiment in black gloss card and glued it to a piece of white gloss card that I cut into a circle.  I glued it to the centre of the background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. What a stunning card today, just my thing although I am surprised that you say you have used emerald green and olive pixie powders as the colour on my screen looks as though you have used aquas and peacock blues. Thank you for sharing.

Morning Sue, a very striking card and a method for creating the pixied piece that I have not done in a long time, need to find my gloss card and cling film. Bx

Hi Sue
Love the floating snowflake frame cut out of pixie powder card, simple but very effective. Apologies for not commenting on yesterday’s lovely card, just had a busy day
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue, this is such a pretty card and I love it. I agree with Lisbeth it does look more like aquas and peacock blues but I am sure the actual emerald and olive look equally as good.

A great post though it looks more blue than green on the screen and as such perfect for snowflakes…
