Strength Circle

Hi bloggers!   How about this bright beauty for a Monday morning!  I cut the Celtic Circles Background in white and black card.  I found a piece of Pixied card I made awhile ago in my craft stash.  I used Midnight Blue, Rich Gold and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders on it.  I glued the background over it, then added a white frame cut from the Double Stitched Squares.  I used some of the leftover pixied card and cut the Exquisite Poppies dies out of it.  I cut enough pieces to make three dimensional flowers.  I assembled them and added them in opposite corners of the frame.  I added a white satin bow under the largest one and used white leaves as accents around all three of the flowers.  I cut the Family Circle die in black and added it to the shadow backing piece which I cut in white card.  I added it to the centre of the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"   in size.  

Just to let you know, the January die release Blog launch starts tomorrow morning at 6am here on the blog!  Can't wait!  All for now, Sue x

Oh Sue there's no mistaking that you designed this absolutely beautiful inspiration. This is our Sue all gift wrapped in stunning pixie powders, thank you for thinking of this statement and bringing it to us when we all need these empowering thoughts - maybe we should adopt this as our Particraft daily mantra. Sending much love to you both and to all that visit today. STAY SAFE IN 21 😷 xxx

Hello again Sue and all.
The Gremlins have invaded my PC again today when I was half way through my comments I got a black screen.
I love todays card and I actually made an A4 sheet of Pixie Powders yesterday that has turned out well. Thank you for the inspiration.
The sentiment is very apt in these difficult times,
Thank you Sue.
Marie P.

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a lovely card and the exquisite poppies are beautiful. A great sentiment and I think we are all stronger than we realise and it is only adversity such as this pandemic that proves it. I hadn't realised that it was time for another launch but am now looking forward to it - it will give us something different to focus on.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. What a really scrummy background and, as you have shown, you really don't need much more to go onto the card other than one of your super strong sentiments.
