Congratulations
Hello bloggers! I thought I would share another sample from the latest release. I started with a piece of white card and used Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles all over it. Once dry, I embossed it with the Moroccan Tile embossing folder. After I embossed it, I used Black Soot around the edges to add a bit of a frame look to it. I cut the Gerbera Stained Glass Circle out of black card. I backed it with another piece of Pixie Sparkled card, but this one had a bit of Zesty Lime added to the Beyond Blue. I used some Cosmic Lacquer on the flowers and leaves for a bit of shine. I cut the Congratulations sentiment in black and added it below the flowers. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Superb and so cool in blue hues! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous sample, blue pixie sparkles gives a brilliant backdrop to the new die and of course the congratulations sentiment too, another winner Sue xx

Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful few special days we've just been given full of homes I can only dream of lol, your ideas, themes and designs are non-stop I don't know how you do it you must be continually sketching ideas figuring out how to make them work alongside your older much loved dies from a few years back, either way I'm really looking forward to seeing more brand new samples made with your new collections and hopefully this is one of many. Enjoy your day whatever you're plans are xxx
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card to start the weekend thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.

ReplyDeleteLovely card.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card; highlights the die and a coloured background does all the work. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I do love gerberas as I think they are such happy flowers. I would usually colour them really brightly but as you have shown us here, they can also be used quite nicely in more muted colours to blend in with the background.
