Hi there my crafty friends! This is the kind of card I love to make when I have a really cool background and don't want to cover it all up! LOL This is one of my
Pixie Powders backgrounds from my stash. I used
Aqua Lagoon and Golden Mint together, spritzed it with water and let it dry. Once dry, I embossed it with the
Quilted Pillow embossing folder for a nice textural background. I cut the
Cosmos Flowers out of a piece of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I glittered all the flowers with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz before assembling them. I added the flowers to the card in a cluster. I used the
Lace Edged Leaves, Splendid Swirls and the Trailing Ivy dies to add white accents around the flowers. I cut a Decorative Flag and glued the
Get Well sentiment to it. I cut it out of leftover card from the background. The card was completed with black and white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.

Good Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother super background ,love the embossing folder and the colour you have used too.

Hi Sue how can anyone be unsure about the beauty of this inspiration. I love how you've used dies from way back in your designing chapter only one fairly newish die and that's the decorative flag, a very pretty mix of old and new. Hope all our overseas family have started their vaccination program and it's all going well. Stay safe keep crafting keep caring xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Steph
DeleteI wonder if you could help me my friend has bought sues. New dies she asked me where you get the cards to go with the. Dies I don’t have any yet xxxI thought you might know love june horrock
Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteToday’s card has definitely got the Wow factor! I don’t blame you not wanting to cover the beautiful background it’s far too pretty. A long time ago when ultra thick embossing powders came out these were the first two colours I bought! Now I’ll have to get them in pixie powders lol! I love it when you mix old with new!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, the colouring with the pixie powders and then quilted is really amazing, so many different variations of colour just in a small square, beautiful. The flowers are all glitzed up, what more can you ask for, love it.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. I love pixied backgrounds, but don’t think I’ve ever used an embossing folder on one so that will be my next thing to try.

Good Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA really fabulous card Sue. I love everything about it.
I have so many embossing folders and rarely use them. I have finally started with the Pixie Powders so will make a plan to sort the embossing. You are a great inspiration.
Have a good day.

Good Morning Sue. I love this one ... I love how you have embossed your pixie sheet with the Quilted Pillow. That's one of my favourites. Ohhh and those colours ... they are to die for. Another one to recreate for someone special. I can't wait now as I have just bought the " To A Dear Friend " sentiment and it dropped through my letter box yesterday morning Yeeaayyyy. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
ReplyDeletePLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hi Sue. I can understand why you wanted to show off as much of the pixied paper as possible, I think the colours are really fresh and pretty. I nice idea for a quick card (as long as you have a stash of backgrounds)

ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday everyone x
Will you just look at that colour! That is stunning. I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to cover it up. And it is made even more striking by embossing it. I don’t think I have ever embossed one of my Pixied backgrounds - a situation that can easily be rectified with the amount of embossing folders I possess x
Lace edged leaves, splendid swirls and trailing ivy??!! I would never have dreamt of using three together but it works wonders and looks amazing. What a brilliant way to bring all of those older dies out of retirement. The Cosmos flowers are not part of my collection yet. I have seen you use them so much recently and they really are gorgeous. I will have to improvise until I add them to my flower family x
