Sending Warm Wishes
Hi bloggers! Back to the background stash to start today's card. I used Aubergine Dream, Plum Twist and Purple Violet Pixie Powders on it. I cut the outer frame from the Button Flower Floral Panel die set three times in white. I cut the pixied background three times using the inner cut line for the panels and glued them on to the frames. I added all three frames to another piece of white card and attached them with mounting foam. I cut the Button Flower panel several times in white. I nipped the design out of the frames and attached them across the three panels diagonally. I recut the panel in several shades of plum and purple and cut out the flowers and glued them onto the white die cuts. I added small pearls to all the flower centres. I used the Sending Warm Wishes sentiment cut out of purple card then added to a white shadow backing. I attached it in the upper right corner with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finshed dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beach Sunset Stained Glass
Hello crafters! I started by creating a pixied background using the Sun Yellow, Burnt Orange and Lava Red Pixie Powders. I cut the background of the Beach Lighthouse out of both the pixied card and a piece of black card. I used the fall away pieces from the pixied card and paper pieced them back into place in the black die cut. Next I cut the centre die from the Beach Sailboat in white and layered it up. I cut the Beach Sunset Stained Glass die in black and added a circle of the pixied card behind it beofre layering it into the centre of the card. I cut a Decorative Square in white and added a black mat behind it. I seated the main focal element in the centre. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.

Just Because
Hello crafters! I made this quick card to show you that you can do some other things with the floral panel sets. I cut the foliage panel from the Moonflower Floral Panel die set a couple of times in white. I nipped away the leaves from the frame (easily done) and used them inside of an ival frame. I decided to leave the ends of the leaves unglued to add a little movement (like they are blowing in the wind). I cut a Stitched Flag in white and used the Just Because Shadowed sentiment across it. I cut it in black and added it to the white shadow backing then glued it onto the flag die across the lower part of the oval. I used the French Marigold die set and made a 3D flower in white. I glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and added it to the end of the flag die with a couple of leaves from the set. I added the oval onto a piece of pixied card which was done using the Candy Pink colour. Pearls in the two right side corners were added as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
