Hi bloggers! I started today's card with pixie powders. I used the
Aubergine Dream, Plum Twist and Rich Gold Pixie powders to create this background. I really like the combination of colours. I spritzed them with water, then covered it with a piece of cling film. I scrunched the film to create wrinkles and allowed it to dry overnight. Next I cut the
Magnolia Corner out of white card. I used the extra flower die in the set and cut it several times out of bright gold card to give me enough flowers to create a bunch of flowers. Some of them I made into a more 3D style and others were just doubled and formed. I glued the corner into the lower corner of the card and added a swath of flowers across it. I cut the
Hope Circle out of some leftover pixied card and added it to a white backing then mounted it in the upper corner. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Sue this actually bought a lump to my throat, the inspiration maybe beautiful but the sentiment means everything with what's happening in the world. You give us Hope, and as one of our blog family mentioned, every sentiment on every sample has had a meaning.
STAY SAFE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING ❤ xxx

Hello Sue
This lovely creation made me quite emotional. The sentiment has such meaning. Hugs to all that need it.x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful colourful creation today, the sentiment is so, so very perfect at these trying times. Stay safe xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue,A Fabulous card indeed.
The sentiment may have been put there just for me as one of my Granddaughters and Her Daughter were quarantined for 14 days late yesterday. Sue has so many underlying problems that her immune system is shattered. Her Daughter Candice (age 23) is her carer
Hope is all we can do.
The card you have for us today is beautiful and I'm sure the sentiment applies to all of us.
The colours were made for each other and the Pixie powders are a dream.
Thank you Sue.

Good Morning Sue. Fabulous card Sue. I bought this die....
Knowing that my beautiful... much younger.... Sister was having treatment for breast cancer.... I saved it... I wouldn't use it until we heard the word we were all praying for...CLEAR . So I got this die out and put it to work. The card was lovely.... but the sentiment said it all. It's a beautiful word die that means so much to so many people. And more so at this very worrying time.Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE.🙏🙏🙏
Hi Sue, a beautiful card with such a meaningful sentiment, especially at this difficult time. The colors are gorgeous.

Pixies and plastic wrap - love it and those colours are fantastic. The magnolia corner is working its way up to the top of my list at the moment. You have used it quite a bit recently and I am wanting it more each time I see it. Lovely words for just now and I am so glad your sisters results came back clear too Anne.

Hi Sue
A really nice card. I like the background but the sentiment die is what makes it so special. I love how it stands out so boldly against the background and I love the swirly font of the hope. I’m sure when you designed this one Sue you knew it would touch so many people with their various personal endeavours, but you could never have imagined it would become the sentiment of so many around the globe at the same time.
The magnolia corner just finishes it off beautifully.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue

Lovely card with such an apt sentiment. The colours are ones I wouldn’t have put together but they work so well. Thank you Sue.
Just realised I have missed the previous two cards, I don’t know how! Think all the days are merging together!
A lovely card with a perfect sentiment especially at this difficult time.
Marie P. - Sorry to hear about your daughter.Hope she will be OK.
Ann Topp - Hope you'll use this sentiment soon.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Stunning card Sue, the pixie powder background is fabulous!!!
A stunningly rich looking card design. Great pixie color combination. Yet another cling film technique. I have not tried cling film over pixies. I will have to try that. I assume you taped your card down before tapping your pixies on it and sprinting with water. Your HOPE cirlce sentiment is one of my favorite of the group. Thank you for sharing your designs and techniques. Hugs
Really unusual colour combination but it works together so beautifully. The message is definitely one we all need at the moment. X
very beautiful card!
Hi Sue
This is a very poignant card with all the things going on in the world
The card itself is very beautiful but that sentiment is perfect
You take care my friend
