Good Sunday morning all! It's another Celtic die today, this time it's the Celtic Square Background. I started by making a piece of pixie powder background. I used Purple Violet, Lava Red and Burnt Orange pixie powders on a piece of coconut white card and spritzed it with water. Once dry, I cut the Celtic Square Background in white and glued it to the pixie powder background. I cut the background into three strips and added mounting foam to the backs of each of them. I added the strips to another piece of white card with small gaps between them. Next I cut the Best Friend sentiment out of a leftover piece of the pixie powdered background. I seated it on a Pierced Flag die across the background. Using the Layered Carnations, I made a white flower and added it to the end of the sentiment strip. I accented it with white leaves and Fern Fronds in white. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

I'm late as after Saturday I was shattered yesterday. However it was lovely to meet with you again Sue. I bought some of the lovely new "deep" embossing folders after seeing you using them. I had not realised how deep they really were.
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful I love the triple effect and of course Pixie Powders are fantastic where ever they are used.
