You Are My Heart
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of pixied card from my stash to use as the background for today's card. I used Candy Pink and Burnt Orange Pixie Powders on a piece of white gloss card, then I covered it with scrunched up cling film to give the pattern some interesting detail. I used the Sea Garden Embossing folder and added some texture to the background. Next I used the Scalloped End Rectangle dies and cut a multi-layered frame. I used a wider black base and added the thinner white die cut to it. I inked the Iris Stampcut die with a water based black ink then ran it through the die cutting machine to cut and print it. I used alcohol ink markers to colour the image. I added it to the inside of the frame with mounting foam. I cut the You Are My Heart sentiment from the Love themed Wordie Sheets. I added it at the bottom of the floral element. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
A very pretty card, sorry I'm not sure about the back ground colour
I am sure it is lovely in real life.
Take care Kitty.
Hi Sue.
The first thing that attracted me to your sample today was the lovely sentiment, it's very powerful and meaningful.
The design is also pretty, my favourite background was pixie powders and a good layer of scrunched up cling film, its a lovely addition to the pixies if you've not tried it yet add a roll of cling wrap to the grocery list, it doesn't have to be expensive to work, to see the patterns transferred onto the background sheet from the film is so clever.
So I'll love n leave for now and as I close the door I hope everyone is feeling as well as is possible xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a gorgeous, colourful card today, not something I have tried but I will do.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
