Hi bloggers! It's another Pixie Sparkle card! I started with a piece of white card and sprinkled Coral Crush and Fuchsia Rose Pixie Sparkles all over it. I spritzed it with water and used a flat paintbrush to fill in any white areas. After it dried, I embossed it with the Moroccan Tile Embossing folder for texture. I cut it into three strips and added mounting foam to the back of each of them. I added the strips on to a piece of white card, leaving a small gap between each of the strips. I cut one of the Decorative Flag dies and added mounting foam to it, then attached it across the card. I cut several of the Pom Pom Flowers in white to create four flowers. I added them to the side of the decorative flag. Using the Magnolia Corner, I nipped it apart and added the leaves to the flowers as accents. I cut the Noble Thanks sentiment out of a leftover piece of the Pixie Sparkle card, then added a black shadow and glued it to the decorative flag. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and Particraft partners.
This is so pretty those pixie sparkles know how to sparkle that's for sure. And I'm loving your floral elegance who wouldn't adore looking at this all day during lockdown. Can't think of a nice way to start a new day. Keep safe keep crafting keep caring xxx
Lovely card, very pretty.

Hi Sue and everyone what a feast for my tired eyes this morning, such a beautiful card. I absolutely love the pink embossed background and the flowers in white look gorgeous and of course the sparkle. Thank you Sue hugs to all who need one today Donna xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful creation using the pixie sparkles and the the lovely white flowers, would also make a nice mothers day card.

Hello Sue
What a lovely card I especially like that it is so adaptable. You could use a different embossing folder, different pixie powders, different flowers and foliage and a different sentiment and it would work.Take care everyone x
Love those flowers, and the sparkle looks
really stunning! As June says, a great
Mothers Day card.
Stay safe,

Hello Sue, a really beautiful card, the embossed Pixie Sparkle background is brilliant. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Lovely card I adore how you have used an embossing folder to create the focal feature I can’t wait to see these Pixie Sparkles in real life
Take care all xx
Good Morning Sue. Wow this is stunning. The only thing I would change are the flowers. The only reason I never bought the pom pom flowers is ... They remind me of spider like . And I am terrified of spiders. If I can get past that ... Then I would love to recreate with a different flower. Thankyou Sue.
I hope this is ok ... If not please remove it.
I have been asked to make a Golden Jubilee (50 years service) card for a Nun. PLEASE does anyone know of a site where I would find verses. I am ok for what to put on for decoration and sentiment ... Just some guidance for the the verse. Thankyou in advance.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue. What a really lovely card today. It's funny, I fell in love with your style all those years ago (sorry) when you used to make those really blousy cards with all the ribbons and dimensional flowers but now I am more drawn to the more simple and flatter cards. That background is so beautiful you don't really want to cover too much of it up. Thanks for sharing.
