Thank You
Hello crafters! I cut the Stitched Starburst Background in both white and black. I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white one. I selected a piece of card from my background stash to use as the backing. It was created using Pumpkin Patch and Flirty Pixie Sparkles. Using the Double Stitched Circles, I cut a multi-layered frame, with a larger black base and a thinner white frame on top. I added it to a bit of leftover pixied card and seated it in the centre of the card. I used the Thank You from the Thank You Block Sentiment cut in black and glued to the inside of the frame. I cut two of the Petite Peony Clusters in white and two in black. I shadowed the white die cuts with the black one, then added flowers cut from the pixied card. I attached them to either side of the frame. I completed the card with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful pixie coloured background to the stunning starburst, I have used this die a lot last year and I know I will continue this year. A stunning creation xx.

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely card. And I love to see the older dies with the new ones. I love the pixie powders but for some reason I have never ventured into the sparkle ones ... I feel a little treat coming on. See what you have done Sue 😂.

Hi Sue, I seem to be very much in the minority today when I say that this card just doesn't sit right with me, so sorry. IMO I don't think it needs the Petite Peony Clusters but then I am not a designer :-).
ReplyDeleteFrances

Hi Sue. I really admire all the cards you create with the stitched starburst die which I think adds so much drama to the creation. Love it.
