Good Sunday morning all! I started by selecting a piece of white gloss card. I used Candy Pink and Burnt Orange Pixie Powders on it, spritzed it with water then covered it with a piece of scrunched up cling film and set it aside to dry overnight. The gloss card gives it a brighter and shinier end result. Next I used the Joanie die cutting edge and cut an aperture in the centre of the pixied card. I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it then added a piece of white card behind it. I recessed the piece cut from the aperture back into the opening, then added a Joanie die cut in black on top of it. I cut the outer frame from the Joanie die in white and glued it around the aperture opening. I cut one more Joanie die in white and cut it into four pieces and glued them to the four corners. I used the Best Wishes die cut in black and seated it onto a Decorative Flag die cut in white. I attached it across the centre of the card. Using the Heart Leaf Flowers, I made a single flower and glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then seated it at the left side of the sentiment. I added heart leaves as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Not too sure about this one and I can't put my finger on why. It may be because of the colour - although I do like pink, I think this pink is a bit too bright for me - sorry.
Lisbeth

I appreciate the tip on using gloss card with your Pixies. I have a pack of it that I can use as this is a brilliant finish. Lovely card.
Its Monday. I am a day late. Hope everyone is well.
