Butterfly Stained Glass die with Pixie Powders

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How are you all keeping? It is Friday and the weather is a bit dull here today. We are going away for a short holiday tonight. I won't be around to do my usual commenting I will get as far as I can this afternoon and catch up when we get back. My blog won't be completely quiet as I have scheduled  three Design Team posts while we are away. I will have a lot to catch up with when we get back.

When we were in Bristol for the wedding we had a free morning on the Friday before. We had forgotten a few things so we popped out to find the local Sainsburys. On the way we found a brand new Range store  and it would have been rude not to go in. We had a coffee and then I treated myself to a die. I choose the Stained Glass Butterfly die by Sue Wilson.

So this week I had a play. To get some ideas I watched a Youtube tutorial by Sue Wilson herself.



The backing paper came from my stash. 


The sentiment was cut with a Sue Wilson die. 


This shows the detail of the die. I used Pixie powders to create the background. When it was very dry (I did use a heat gun) I covered it with some double sided sticky sheet. I stuck the die cut to the sticky sheet I had left a nice big border on the die. Once it was stuck in place the rest of the sticky was covered with Microbeads. Finally I cut the whole thing to size with one of the Double Pierced Rectangle dies. 


Quite a simple card to make. I did enjoy getting inky with the Pixie Powders. 

I would like to enter challenge 261 at the Brown Sugar Challenge blog and challenge 381 at the Crafty Catz Challenge blog. 
Enjoy your weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

    Gorgeous card Jackie, I did giggle at your comment about it being rude not to visit the new Range store, a lady after my own heart lol! Love the die and what you've done, I have some micro beads and some Mica flakes I bought after seeing a Sue Wilson demo but not used them yet, time to dig them out and play methinks! Hope you have a fab weekend break :) Love & Hugs - Debs xxx
