Hello Friend

Hello bloggers!  I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powder on a piece of Gloss White card, then covered it with scrunched up cling film and set it aside to dry overnight.  I peeled off the cling film, leaving all the interesting mica lines on the background.  I cut the Hello Friend sentiment out of both white and black card.  I shadowed the white sentiment then glued it onto the background.  Using the Pierced Summer Blossoms, I cut the flowers out of both white, Arctic Blue and Sky Blue and assembled the flowers.  I attached them in a diagonal across the card.  I cut the leaves in white and added them around the flowers.  I added the background onto another piece of white card and used Double sided tape around the edges.  I added Iced Snow to the tape for a pretty bling around the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Happy Wednesday everyone x
What a beauty! Todays card is a real WOW! Everything about it is on my favourite list! Always love anything in blue. The background is not only a Pixied delight but is made from my favourite pixie colours.
As you know I always love every card you make, Sue, but once in a while, one of your cards comes along and just sings to me and goes in to my OMG, take my breath away folder. Todays card is one of those x
I’m off to see a friend this afternoon who I haven’t seen for 28 years! She moved out to South Africa when my eldest was 2. She is over at the moment with hubby and her 2 boys who I’ve never met. I am so excited. We grew up together and we were best friends. I think it’s going to be a late night. A lot of catching up x
Take care one and all x
Sending you all positive thoughts x
Crafty hugs x

Hi Sue

A beautiful and striking card. Love the cling film technique look, especially in this colour and those flowers set it off perfectly. The frame is a great finishing touch too.

Love Helen xxx

Morning Sue, a beautiful card with a striking background, love how the cling film has created light and dark lines. Take care and stay warm everyone. Bx

Hi Sue.
Another stunning picture of inspiration. I keep looking back at Mondays 'Thank You' inspiration it's just breathtaking, June Horrocks has asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter, June is waiting for eye surgery and is devastated she can't do what she loves, so she's asked for my help, with your permission I'd like to use your design for her daughters birthday card but as I don't own this amazing new die I'll use one of your other floral dies which will still be pretty, I hope you don't mind, and low and behold here they are again,.so pretty over my favourite clingfilm background which Muriel kindly explained to me lol (I'm worried that she no longer posts here after SO many years of seeing her name)
So I'll continue with the cards I need to do and leave you with hugs to help you if you need them xxx
