Hello crafters! I made a pixied background using Candy Pink and Burnt Orange Pixie Powdersfor today's card. I covered it with scrunched cling film. I used the centre die to cut a small aperture in the middle of the card. Next, I cut the Wrapped Pearl Frame twice in white. I glued them both to the centre laying one to the top of the other one so you can see both of them. I cut the centre tag in white and glued it around the aperture. I added mounting foam to the back to the background to raise it and added a piece of white card behind it. I cut the Miss You out of a leftover piece of the pixied background and glued it to the centre of the aperture opening. I cut a single Pierced Layered Flower in white and added a centre cut from the background card as an accent. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
A very unusual card today I am not sure about it sorry Sue, a very pretty colour.
Take care Kitty.
Hi Sue.
I've looked at todays inspiration for a while and I'm afraid my feelings mirror Kitty's feelings, I'm not sure about this, I'm not sure if it's the background or because it's flat, I'm just not sure but it's not one of my favourites, sorry Sue.
Love to everyone that visits keep well and safe xx
Hi Sue
I think this card is lovely. Love the colour and texture of the background. The frame is so pretty and the sentiment fits perfectly.
Love Helen xxx

Hello Sue
I think this is too much pink,I love the frames and the sentiment. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful card, I love the way you do the background colour, I also have the die so can try this one.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue, a very pretty card today, great layout. Take care and stay warm everyone. Bx
Hi Sue. Love that background colour, but I am afraid that my feelings for the card are similar to those of Steph and Kitty. I can understand that you would want to show off as much of that background as possible, but I think I would trim it down to nearer the size of the die cut frame which may result in a more balanced composition - sorry

Lovely card.
Love this, but like the others, think the
background is too large.

Good morning Sue,
Lovely card but like the others I think the background would be better smaller. Yvonne xx

Like others not my favourite, I’m a blue girl & just love your blue & turquoise offerings. However you have made us all stop & think how we might have changed it, which is good! Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue

Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue, I do like this card. Love the background colours and the way you have used the Wrapped Pearl Frame, not something I would have thought of but most effective.

I’m not so sure about this one either like others have said. I think maybe it’s a little busy for me. X
