For Someone Special

Hi crafters!  Today is another day of pixies!  I just love them so I reach for them often as there are just so many cool ways to use them!  For today's card, I used the Eliza die and cut it into a piece of coconut white card using all the decorative dies in the set.  I started with a much larger piece of card than I needed but you must do that for this technique.  Once I cut all the dies cuts into the card, I backed it with a piece of pixie powdered card I made using Midnight Blue, Purple Violet and Teal Wash.  After I glued the two together, then I cut the outside edges down to size.  The reason you need to do it this way is because the decorative parts of the die will cut out and drop off the edge when you use a smaller piece of card.  Trust me on this one, it just won't work easily unless you start big.  Next I cut two diagonal cuts about two inches apart./  I added mounting foam to the top and bottom edge of the card and added them on to another piece of coconut white card, then glued the diagonal strip flat between them, keeping the pattern intact.  I cut the For Someone Special sentiment out of teal card a couple of times and glued them together for dimension, then glued it to the upper left corner of the card.  From the leftover piece of pixie powdered card, I used the Layered carnation die set and cut enough flowers to make three flowers.  I assembled them and seated them in the lower right corner with white leaves and a white ribbon bow as accents.  The card was completed with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
