Hi bloggers! Back to the Pixie Sparkles for today's card background. I used Zesty Lime and Beyond Blue. I allowed it to dry well then embossed it with the Quilted Pillow embossing folder. Using the Double Stitched Ovals, I cut a wide frame out of white card. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and attached it to the background. I cut the Because Shadowed sentiment out of white and added a black shadow, then glued it to the shadow backing die which I cut in white. I added mounting foam to support it then attached it across the oval frame. I used the matching stamps to add the "you are loved" sentiment and stamped and cut it with the tag die from the set. I added it onto the edge of the oval frame. I used the Striped Nasturtium die set and cut the outline flowers out of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I glittered the flowers then assembled them and added them in opposite sides of the frame. I used Lace Edged Leaves as an accents around the flowers. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

A lovely card in beautiful colours
Hi Sue another great card. Love the lace edged leaves on this card, don't know how I've managed to miss ordering these, but hopefully I can rectify this fairly quickly.
Hi Sue. Love that background, it really looks as though you have used more than 2 colours and that embossing folder is to die for. I also love the way the white accents stand out so nicely against the dark background.

Hi Sue, I love 'just because' cards and this one is a beauty.
Steph, where are you? I hope you are ok.

The background on this card is gorgeous and adds texture. I like the large oval frame which stands out against the background. I especially like the sentiment and the white flowers, which I find are a favorite.. Beautiful!
