All The Best

Hello crafters!  I selected a pretty piece of Pixied card from my background stash to use as the background for today'a card.  I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powders on a piece of white gloss card.  I covered it with a piece of cling film and scrunched it to make the lines in the card.  Using the cutting die from the Avery die, I cut an aperture in the middle of the card.  Next I cut the outer thin frame in white and glued it around the aperture.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it to a piece of white card.  I cut the Avery die in white, cutting the centre of it out, then glued it to the blue fall away piece from the aperture.  I recessed it down into the aperture and added the All The Best sentiment cut in black and glued to a white shadow backing.  Using the Daisy Cluster, I cut two in white and two in black.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white one.  I cut the matching flowers out of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off then attached them behind the ???? and added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the remaining exposed adhesive.  I did this to both of the Daisy Clusters  I glued them into opposite corners.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue. Another beautiful card today . And one that could be sent to anyone for any occasion. I don't have the Avery die but I do have lots of your other dies that have a very thin border that can be used instead . And I will have a go. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
Please stay safe and well 🙏

SO SORRY SUE. I won't be around for a few days. We are going on a dance festival and there is definitely no Wi-Fi there. Unless we get out somewhere where I can use their Wi-Fi it will be Tuesday when I next post. I will have to scroll back when I get home to see what I have missed
Take Care.

The blue background is lovely, use a different
sentiment, and you'd have a different card.

Enjoy your break Ann.

Hi Sue. Love that blue background. I also love the thin spotty border around the die. Although it is a small, unassuming element it really makes the main element stand out for me.

I am really loving these cards you are doing with white elements on that gorgeous midnight blue pixie background. Think I will have to do a few of these backgrounds when it cools down next week. Thank you Sue for the inspiration.

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, although I love all of the individual elements used the card as a whole does not sing to me, sorry. Maybe it's the heat or that I have my Christmas card hat on :-)
