Hi crafters! I started this one with a look into my background stash and pulled out a Pixie powdered background. I used
Midnight Blue, Lava Red and Emerald Green Pixie Powders to create this background. Next, I cut the
Plumage Background twice out of white card. I nipped around the edge so just the feathery sort of look was exposed and attached it to the background with foam. On the other one, I nipped further into the design, this time I left more of a smaller circle design and layered it up in the middle with foam. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a circle die. I inked around the edge with
Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and added it to the middle with foam. I stamped several
Cosmos Flower stamps in black and cut them out with the matching dies. I used
Salty Ocean on the ends of the petals to add some colour before assembling them. I added the flowers in opposite corners with white leaves as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. What a brilliant way to use the plumage background. I really love how intricate the whole sample is and your Cosmos flowers look gorgeous. Whatever your plans enjoy your Monday xxx
Hi Sue
It looks like a completely different die - absolutely ingenious. I always try and have a little guess as to what you have used before I read your blog. This threw me slightly! Such a fabulous way of ‘reinventing’ the Plumage Background. Of course it goes without saying that the Pixied background is stunning. Gorgeous card x
Happy Monday everyone

Love those beautiful pixie background colours, superb card Sue, thank you...luv Ursula xx
I could never figure this card out. I kept trying to see what other die was used in the middle. A very gorgeous card and the Pixied background is stunning...just right.
Have a great day,

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and how clever of you to create the lovely focal point from a background. Love the Cosmos as always.
Frances
I love this card! The background is just beautiful & really sets off the die you've used as the focsl point, with the flowers it makes a really stunning card.
Stunning design. I like the contrast between the white and the darker Pixie Powders background. The combination of the colors of Pixie Powders that you used work very nicely together. You have shown the Plumage Background can be nipped here and there and also to stack the layers to create an entirely new look. You are so good at that technique - always thinking outside of the box. The pearls add that very special accent. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sue, Beautiful card, love Jean Z xxxx
Beautiful Sue I love the PP’s you’ve used Not a combination I would have considered - you know the saying “red and green should never be seen” I love it
I love how you’ve finished the Cosmos flowers That little addition of Salty Ocean DO really makes them look different
A real WOW of a card! Simply beautiful!
Doreen R
