Hi bloggers! Need a really quick card, but still want it to look as if you took forever? Today's video shows you how to use the Pixie Powders in a caught in crystal technique. You can make a bunch of these up ahead of time and just grab them as you need them. Voila, a quick card!

Stunning card Sue x xhazel
ReplyDeleteWOW Sue, I need to watch and enjoy today's video to enable me to have a bash at this technique, I've done your original caught in crystal just once and it's so easy but incredibly effective so now it's time to 'update' my so called skills and try this although I doubt it will look as gorgeous as today's outstanding inspiration lol. You've given us the most beautiful sample today and I'm looking forward to learning from you. I can't remember which 'blog buddy' it was yesterday that mentioned not needing a chocolate egg for Easter and was hinting at the skyline die she'd prefer instead lol good on you ☺ I can't remember the last time I had one, it's the only way to try and make a hole in the ever growing list of dies needed, so I'm looking forward to seeing which metal egg I get this year 😉 besides it's less fattening and lasts so much longer than chocolate so it's a win win both for us and certainly not a waste of the OH hard earned salary lol ☺
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching your shows Sue, have a great day xxx
Gorgeous card Sue would love to give this one a new home.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a amazing card this morning , the colours created from the Pixie powders are stunning. The finishing touches die cut in white really bring the design together.

Hello Sue, a really stunning card, the caught in crystal has to be one of the most amazing techniques ever, as you say no piece ever looks the same and as it is using pixie powders, that is a winner for me. Great video, and lovely dies used. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYet another stunning background, the rich colours really make the sentiment and embellishments pop and the best bit is I have all three of the colours you've used so I'll dig out some acetate and have a play this afternoon!...thanks for the inspiration...
