Hello Friend

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of Pixied card from my background stash pile to use for the background.  It was made using Emerald Green and Yellow Straw Pixie Powders.  I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Maple Leaves in black.  I cut the middle die in white and layered it up on the outer die.  I cut the centre die with a piece of back card on top and a piece of white card underneath.  I used the white die cut to colour the image with markers.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet, then peeled the backing paper off and added the black die cut on top.  I coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then trimmed away the excess sticky paper around the edges.  I seated it in the middle of the card.  I cut the Hello Friend sentiment in black and glued the two words in opposite corners.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 1/4"  in size.

Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful autumn design today, the colours when you see them in the close up look amazing, love all the glitz, you certainly know how to create a beautiful card.

I have checked out the new website for CE, lots of bargain on there, so will be ordering later.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning.
I always love your backgrounds Sue. And this one is no exception. A beautiful card showing your stained glass products. And because of you and your lovely pixie powder. You unknowingly helped me out during the week. I needed some green card for my holly die and I had none. Omg what do I do. Ahhh pixie powder. Problem solved. I had the most beautiful holly leaves that look almost real. Thankyou so much Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏.

Hi Sue
Love the pixied background for the card and the maple leaves stained glass is beautiful. Like Marion I have always bought CE products online from a company in Wales and their service is top class. I just hope that this new retail side to Creative Expressions doesn’t affect all the craft companies that stock their products.

Love and hugs to everyone
Pat

I too love your pixie backgrounds, and it’s a great idea to have a stack of them to use like you do Sue.
Lovely card

Lovely card and very versatile die. A good one for a man’s card or even a ‘thinking of you’ type. Thanks Sue x
