So Glad We're Friends

Good Sunday morning all!  I reached back and found this one in an older file and it uses the Maggie die!  I started with a piece of white card and sprinkled Plum Twist, Aubergine Dream and Rich Gold Pixie Powders all over it then spritzed it with water.  Once dry, I used the outer cutting edge from the Maggie die to cut an aperture in the centre.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise the back and attached it over a white piece of card.  I used the fall away from the aperture and recessed it down into the opening.  Next I cut the Maggie die in white and glued it into the recess.  I cut the So Glad We're Friends sentiment out of some of the extra pixied card.  I glued it to the centre of the Maggie die.  I used the flowers from the Magnolia Corner die set to cut flowers out of a piece of pixie powder card that was done out of Rich Gold Pixie Powder.  I also cut a small butterfly from the Delicate Garden Frame die set and glued it in the upper corner.  I seated the flowers in the opposite corner and added some Lace Edged Leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now.

Morning, afternoon or evening Sue and all that pop in from round the globe, hope that if we have any California family you're safe and well enough to be blogging.
Pixie powders are wonderful magical things to play with, I have a made a few sheets with the few powders I own but they've all looked so pretty I've not used them yet ! I just love how gorgeous Maggie looks and how delicate she is sitting amongst all these luscious colours, another to add to the 'World Tour' lol
Sending much love to all.
STAY SAFE KEEP CARING 💖 xxx

Good morning all.
A beautiful card Sue. I do so love the Pixie Powders and should really use them more often as when I bought them I bought every colour there was and many have not yet been opened. Every time you use them I 'intend' to do the same so why don't I?
Hope you all have a Happy Sunday.

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely card this morning. Everything on this card are my favourites. I love Maggie....she is one of my all time favourites. So versatile. And the pixies... Well what can I say. If you want a background that is unique do a pixie one... You never get the same design. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue. What a lovely card today. Nice way to use the very pretty Maggie die. Love the colours you have chosen for the background. I would normally choose silver to go with lilacs but in this case I think the gold really works well.

Hi Sue and everyone, well here i am late again. Im just trying to catch up on what I've missed. My brain fog has been so bad at the moment, that's why I need these reminders lol. Well this card is gorgeous, I love the colours and the pixie powder background looks fabulous. I've not had chance to play with mine for a while. I love painting with them too. Love the dies you've used too, its fun to see some of the older dies used again. Hugs Donna x

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, I wondered about the comments on Doreen's wedding and it wasn't until I had scrolled down to check that I found I had not seen this post at all! This is a beautiful card and I love the pixie background and the recessed Maggie die.

WHAT A GREAT MIRACLE THAT I HAVE EVER SEE IN MY LIFE. My names are Clara David I’m a citizen of USA, My younger sister was sicking of breast cancer and her name is Sandra David I and my family have taking her to all kind of hospital in USA still yet no good result. I decided to search for cancer cure so that was how I found a lady called Peter Lizzy. She was testifying  to the world about the goodness of a herbal man who has the roots and herbs to cure all kinds of disease and the herbal man's email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man @herbalist_sakura for my younger sister's help to cure her breast cancer. I contacted him and told him my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister cancer will be cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to give me that I will cook it and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how can I receive the cure that I am in USA, he told me That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week complete my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the miracle of Doctor so my dad wanted to pay him 5 million us dollars the herbal man did not accept the offer from my dad, but I don't know why he didn't accept the offer, he only say that I should tell the world about him and his miracle he perform so am now here to tell the world about him if you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get from the hospital please contact dr.sakuraspellalter@gmail.com or whats app him +2348110114739  you can follow him up on Instagram @herbalist_sakura for the cure, he will help you out with the problem. And if you need more information about the doctor you can mail me davidclara223@gmail.com
