You are so Sweet

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

The background is made with new CS Pixie Powders. I used a piece of Watercolour Card. I placed the Emeralds Mask on it then added some Plum Twist and Golden Mint Pixie Powders, tapping the end of the bottle so that only a little came out. Leaving the mask in place, I misted over the top with water. This wakes the powders up - some of the powders split into other colours and with all of the colours you get a lovely shimmer from the mica. So very cool!

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments onto Coconut White Card using Plum Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Savoy Decorative Accents. I cut a frame by first cutting a Spellbinders Savoy Labels Die out of a larger than needed piece of Coconut White Card. Using the waste, I placed the largest die in the Spellbinders Savoy Decorative Elements Die Set around the aperture in the waste - it fits with a narrow border, and ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine.

I cut a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares. I cut a mat using Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B and another mat using Sue's Double Pierced Squares.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners.

  14. Looking forward to seeing the Pixie Powders at Ally Pally. I really though, when I first saw your card, that it was gilding flakes. May be missing now for a few days, depends on signal where I am going. SueL x

  23. Hello Julia.

    Lovely Card. I love this background, I can see that the Pixie Powders are going to be another have to have product (in all the colours, lol). Thanks for sharing.

  24. If the pixie powders are anything like the colour bursts, they powder gets everywhere and you don't always see where. I have to cover my worktop with a sheet to protect the product that is on there from the powder. I must admit they do create a lovely effect.
