Golden Girl

Hi crafters!  I just really wanted to share another of the Golden Girl cards!  I love that you can make such a quick card with these dies, just by dipping in to your background stash (okay maybe I am the only one with a background stash, but you really should keep your experiments and start one!)  This one is simply Pixie powders, Aubergine Dream, Rich Gold and Purple Violet all together.  Once dry, I cut the Golden Girl die out of it.  I cut one more out of black and used it as a shadow underneath and glued the, together.  I added a piece of white card as a backing to it.  I glittered the Cosmos Flowers with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and made several flowers using just the outlines.  I cut a Magnolia Corner and nipped it apart to add leaves as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Muriel said...

Hello Sue and all
Am definitely going to have to get this beautiful girl for my granddaughters birthday card to start with, This is the most delightful die and yes, I do keep particularly pixie backgrounds, so I will be ready for her when she arrives.
Happy Birthday MarieP, I hope it is a nice one if very quiet. I have a 70th on 16th of this month, of course no family coming to visit, lots of phone calls, same time calls and my good man is here, Hope you have lots of calls and post !
Hugs

Lynne L said...

Good morning Sue Beautiful card I too have a batch of backgrounds this one looks great with the beautiful golden girl die
Happy Birthay Marie P I hope you still manage to have a lovely day

Ann Topp said...

Good Morning Sue. What a stunning card. I love the portraits girls die. And you are right ...I have lots of "try out " pieces of pp card. I kept them to one side for a rainy day. They look totally different when you cut into them and make something with them. We have tons of time now to make lots of pieces. I just stick them in a box. But now we have more time I might make a nice new folder to keep them all together in. Great idea for today. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
MARIE. HAVE A LOVELY BIRTHDAY .
STAY SAFE AND CRAFT ON.

Hi Sue
A lovely card, although I think I prefer the golden girl with autumn shades rather than pink, and your pixie powder background is inspiring me to go and make some

Marie P a big happy birthday and I hope you got lots of happy post today

Hi Sue

A nice card, pretty in pink. I do have quite a few backgrounds, but by the time they are dry I put them away and forget to use them!

Marie P, Happy Birthday. I hope you have a lovely day with beautiful spring weather and bright blue skies.

CraftyJo said...

Fab card Sue. I wonder, in your background stash (and yes, I do have one), do you write the colours and items on the back so you can tell us all with confidence what you used? I sometimes do but not always ;)

Beautiful card. The Pixie Powder background really suits it.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue. You are certainly not the only one with a background stash and I am sure most of us do have one. Love this die and the card. I still feel that I am cheating when I make a card that is as simple to do as this one.

I love the background colors on this card from your "stash of backgrounds". This girl is my favorite of these girl dies. Love her braid which can show off flowers or butterflies.
