A Million Thanks
Good Sunday morning all! Today's background was created using the Boulevard Lights, Sandstorm and the Molten Gold Pixie Sparkles. I use the Square Postage Stamp Frames and cut it in black. I mounted it in a diamond orientation, then cut the next smaller size out of some leftover pixied card. I added one more smaller black die cut on top. I used the Scalloped Circles and cut two in white nd matted them then added them to the centre. I cut the A Million Thanks sentiment out of gold mirror card, shadowed it in black and glued it to the centre of the card. I used the foliage panel from the Buttercup Floral Panel die set and cut it out of gold mirror card twice. I nipped it away from the frame and used the two pieces as accents around the postage stamp mat. I added some small black flowers from the Mini Cosmos set to the vine. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
Wow that is a dramatic background,
brilliant thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue
I think if I tried to recreate this background it would look terrible I do love the stamp squares. I can't go to the NEC craft show this weekend because I am having an injection in my foot so will shop on line. Steph sending hugs I hope you are recovering. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue,
Not too sure about today's card. Sorry!
The photograph probably doesn't do it justice.

Lovely card Sue xx
Hi Sue
The photo looks a bit sombre on my iPad but no doubt the background is amazing in real life.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I think that the background on this is a little bit too dark although in real life it might look completely different with the gold standing out catching the sun.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue. I agree with Kitty this morning Very dramatic background .. And great for the men. I actually like it. It's very different. And with a few of your nautical and underwater dies it becomes a great man card. Thankyou Sue.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Stay safe and well 🙏
STEPHANIE. I hope you are feeling better🤒😷🤗
I was unsure about it but when I enlarged it,I think the background is beautiful. Love the dies.

Hi Sue. How strange, on my laptop the black looks like navy blue, bringing out the "blue" in the pixie background. Although I cannot image what it looks like in real life, it looks really spectacular in the pictures with the gold.

Good morning Sue,
Don't think the photos do it justice I'm sure it is beautiful in reality. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue, think this card needs to be seen to be appreciated as I am sure it is stunning. The photo does not do it justice, but when I zoom in I can see how lovely it is. Love Jean xxx
Not sure on this post, but may just be the photo....However, once again the background is gorgeous.....
Morning Sue, a very contemporary look to this card, quite dark but very striking, the pixied background reminds me of a very stormy sky. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Morning Sue - I actually really like this! The black looks navy on my iPad but I really like that against the gold! The whole card looks really opulent - almost Romanesque in style with the gold laurel leaves! Gorgeous! Colleen xx
Hi Sue
Although I like the dies you have used for this card, I’m sorry but the background is too dark and grungy for me. It probably looks better in real life though.
Love Helen xxx
Sorry Sue, looks like a very confusing card with those strange colours put together...not my 'cup of tea'.....luv Ursula xx
What a very unusual coloured background. Some of the composition reminds me of the Roman Empire. WakeyL
A very dramatic colour sue great card for men stay safe my friends. Xxxxxx. June horrocks I hope you are feeling better Steph xxxxxxxx
Hi SueI really like the background and I'm sure in real life you see it's full glory It makes an effective background
Hi Sue
The mix of pixie sparkles has certainly created a very opulent background for the postage stamp squares and the gold leaves
Love and hugs to everyone

Interesting card Sue!
I love it when you demonstrate how we can use other dies and extend the use of our dies. This is a beautiful card. Hugs.
Not too sure about this one but I like the way you have combined the die cuts. X
Hi Sue, I'm not sure about this card, I don't know if it is the colours or just the photography not doing it justice. I do like the background and the postage squares but the whole is just not doing it for me, I'm sorry.

Wow. So different from yesterday's card. Such a dramatic background.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
