Family Circle
Hello crafters! I dug deep into my background stash and pulled out this one for today's card! I used Lava Red and Rich Gold Pixie Powders to create it, then covered with some cling film to get all the sharp lines in it from the mica in the powders. Next I cut two of the Martha Backgrounds in white and cut them using the Martha Edgers into four decorative borders, then glued them to the edges of the pixied background piece. I used the Family Circle Sentiment cut in white and black. I shadowed it and then glued it to the centre of the frame. I cut all sizes of the Jasmine die out of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and coated them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then assembled the flowers. I seated the two smaller ones in the lower corner and the larger flower in the opposite corner. Using the Martha Edger set, I cut four out of white. I added mounting foam to the centre focal element, then added the four borders around the base of it. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Sorry, I have been missing in action for a couple of days, had cataract surgery and now seeing like I haven’t for probably 40 years, just fabulous and no glasses for distance, only very close work. No more steamed up glasses in the kitchen lol !!

Hi Sue,
Pixies rule ok! And that combination is one of my favourites. And the white dies set the background off to perfection. Frame and flowers are beautiful.
