Hi bloggers! Out came the pixie powders for this one! I started by creating some full sized sheets of pixie powders and allowing them to dry overnight. I used the
Plum Twist and Candy Pink on the first one, the
Purple Violet and Lava Red on the second one and
Straw Yellow and Sun Yellow on the third one and the last one was done in greens,
olive and emerald green. Next I cut each of the three flower squares out of black card. I cut the backing in white with a
self adhesive sticky sheet added to it. Next I cut each of the three flower squares out of one of the pieces of pixie powder backgrounds. I used the coloured pieces to paper piece each of the flowers into the black outline with the sticky backing. Then I cut all three again, but this time out of the green pixied sheet so I was able to paper piece the leaves back into each of the dies. The process wasn't quite complete, I had to do the backgrounds for each so I cut them all out of white card and paper pieced the remaining areas. I added all three,
the iris, the rose and the daffodil Flower Squares onto another piece of coconut white card and added a black mat. I added that to a larger piece of white card with room for the best Wishes sentiment on the bottom. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 11 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Spring is in the air with this lovely sample. I feel awful that I've not used my gift yet from the previous launch. Every time I plan to use my rose something crops up so it's out to one side, I even made some Pixie sheets specifically to use with my die, providing I have no more ridiculous requests for birthday cards today (unlikely ) then this pretty rose die will be put to work so thanks to your post today I shall re-read your method and hope I can do my gift justice along with my Mini Shadow Expressions I received yesterday. I will eventually collect all this collection as they look so beautiful used as a CAS card and really helpful for many happy or sad occasions. Enjoy your day whatever your plans xxx
Beautiful with these bright colours so spring like
Morning Sue.
A lovely sunshiny card, thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good Morning sue and all

Hello Sue
When you first introduced these flower dies I wasn't sure,they seemed to be too overpowering I hadn't realised how petite they were. You have a new convert
Hi Sue
Love the result the pixie powders give to this card, a lot of crafting involved here but the end piece is wonderful.

Not sure I would have the patience to do all that!

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card today showing the beauty of the Flower Square dies. I am just waiting for my prize Pansy and then I will have the full set and can mix and match to my heart's content. I see that I am missing Emerald Green from my collection of Pixies so will have to remedy that. Thank you for the detailed instructions.
Frances
Thank you Sue blog die arrived.

Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card, I really like the layout.
AND MY DIE ARRIVED TODAY, too. It's a beauty. Thank you so much.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. All three of your new floral squares coloured with lovely pixie powders.
Hi Sue
Beautiful card, I love your flower squares and I used the tulip one with crystal tints to make my husband’s valentine card. I think paper piecing with the pixied card is much easier so I will have to create lots more pixie powder backings
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Good Afternoon Sue. Just love this card. The shape is different but I like it and any of your fabulous sentiment dies would sit brilliant on this card. So Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards
This is a lovely card and the colours in the pixie powders give it real depth.
Hi Sue,
Just love the card.
Regards,
Evis.
Hi Sue, playing catch up yet again as more power cuts hit us at inconvenient times.Really loved yesterday's Valentine card and as I enjoy paper piecing, I will definitely be giving your pixie powder backgrounds a go as they look lovely on today's card.
Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Such a pretty way of paper piecing using PP’s They look lovely grouped together too
Hi Sue. I am sure this card looks really pretty in real life as I know how great pixie powders look although it hasn't come out too well on the laptop screen unfortunately. Sorry.
Lisbeth
Love it...Very elegant in its styling. The flower dies are wonderful and easy to use....
This card is making spring come a little earlier. I have daffodils all over my yard now....waiting for the iris which are some of my favorites. I love the way these flowers are colored.
Have a good weekend,

Hi Sue a gorgeous card such beautiful vibrant colour's.
I love all the Dies used
Hug's Lynda xx
Awesome paper pieced stain glass floral design using pixie powdered handmade background paper. I give you A+++ for your patience in your piecing the three flowers each out of their separate pixie powdered card. I love pixie powder and enjoy making pixie powdered backgrounds. I am not good at piecing tiny bits of paper back into their respective areas. It never fails that while I am die cutting something that I want the fall out pieces for piecing back into a design, those tiny pieces have wings. Those tiny bits and pieces have secret hiding places in my craft room and go there to never be found again. I shake my head when looking for those bits. I can not understand how such small pieces of paper can land beyond a six foot square area of where I work. I invariably have to die cut two or more of the same design to get the needed piecing bits.
Love the pixie powder card that you created!!! My favorite type of card, really love the combination of colors and dies.
Very pretty card,
Teresa
This is lovely :)
Gorgeous card Sue xx Hazel
another stunning card Sue...........thanks for sharing
Lesley
Sue this is absolutely stunning, the pixie powder background on them is fab x
Really lovely!
Doreen R
Hi Sue. WOW !!! This is a gorgeous card !!! I really love this one. I have all three of these flower squares and they are fab !!! I will definitely be collecting the three new flower squares you have just designed to. I think they are all beautiful Sue. I looked up what colours the different flowers come in and was really pleased that I have plenty of choices of colours for all the flower dies you have bought us. The only restricted one is the daffodil, the rest can be almost any colour !!! As you know Sue I do love my paper piecing and I will definitely be making lots of pixie powdered backgrounds to use in my square flower dies. I love your typtritch design. I think three flowers in a row is very nice on a card. Highlighting the squares with black card really makes them "pop" to. Your lovely swirly font sentiment die is the perfect finishing touch to your card. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres X X X
Ps : My Jocelyn winning die arrived today and it is beautiful !!! There are so many cards I want to make and I just don't know where to start. Thank you so much Sue. X X X
