Season's Greetings
Hi there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of white card and cut an aperture in the middle using the Double Stitched Ovals. I used the ovals to make a thin frame in white that I added around the outside of the aperture. I added mounting foam to the back of the piece, then added a piece of pixied card to the back. I used Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders on the piece, then covered it with some scrunched up cling film and set it aside to dry. Using the Snowflake Tree-O die set, I cut two of the trees out of white gloss card and added white backing pieces to them. I added the trees in the aperture with mounting foam. I cut the Noble Season's Greetings die out of the leftover pixied card and glued it to the bottom of the card. I added some pixied stars random around the background. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning creation, love the background blues, absolutely perfect for the white trees and blue stars etc. love it.
Stay safe, healthy, and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Ohhh my ... What a beautiful card today. I love it. And what did I say about backgrounds just the other day. I knew this was pixie powder as soon as I saw it. What I love about these is every one is different. You never get the same. This has to be on my list to make. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
Morning Sue, I absolutely love this card, it is simple enough, but still very striking. Need to get a wiggle on with my pixied backgrounds that I want to use on my Christmas cards. Bx
