Firstly thanx for all the birthday wishes and cards! I have to say a big thank you to everyone and dont want to single anyone out but I received some beautiful handmade cards!!!
Back to today and a quick card made with pixie powders and just one finishing touches die.
I stared by making a striped background using gloss card which I coated in cosmic shimmer glossy glue, seal and glaze. Next I simply swiped pixie powders over the surface using midnight blue and peacock green. I moved the brush to stripe the other way making the tartnesque pattern.
enjoy...
Good morning John today's card is beautiful xx glad you had a lovely day yesterday xx

ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought when I saw this was tartan......is it the Lockers Clan lol?
The background looks amazing. Not been in the vicinity of pixie powders yet so you'll have to introduce me when I manage to get over.
Brilliant card and great colour choice.
Enjoy the sea air today.

Hi John. I am really impressed with how you made the tartanesque paper using the pixie powders. This would work really well for those blokie cards that we all struggle with. Pleased to hear that you had a good birthday.
