Pixie Dust Fairy

Hi, this is Rhiannon. Today I have a card that I made very quickly because I used things that were already colored and cut. I used the Pixie Dust Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground because I thought it went really good with the fairy and butterflies.

I started by picking the flower background paper that I had gotten from Amber (the owner of Doodles Paper Playground....she sent me all of the things I used on this card today), and the Blue Iridescent Shimmer paper. Then I found the holographic card base and thought it looked really good with what I already chose. Then I cut the two papers and glued them to the card base.

Next, I got out the fairy and butterflies and glued them to the card. It was quick and easy to put this card together because the images were already cut and colored. I chose my Pixie Dust Sparkle Blend and arranged them throughout the card. I layered some of the sequins because I thought it would look really cool like that. I used On Point Glue for the Sparkle Blend. It is really strong and I like that it's clear.

I really like how this card turned out. It's super shiny and pretty. I like how the layered sequins looks with the rest of the card and the Pixie Dust Sparkle Blend has a lot of nice colors in it. You can get this and all of the other Sparkle Blends at the White Rose Crafts shop. You can use my mom's code, "Alison 15" to save 15% off of your purchase. Thank you for reading. Have a nice day!

Pixie Dust Double Shaker

Greetings! It's Alison, and today I have a shaker card that features the GORGEOUS "Pixie Dust" Sparkle Blend. I love this Blend because it's opalescent and soft, but still has lots of color.

I love to create a lot of backgrounds all at once. I never really know what I am going to use them for, or when, but it's a great way to get out of a creative rut, when I am not sure what I feel like making, or when I just want to play without thinking too much. It's almost like a mediation. So this background was created some time ago with Distress Oxide Inks on glossy photo paper. There is no chalky finish, because I wiped it away with a tissue once the inks had dried. It really brings out the beautiful colors of the inks.

You can see in this photo the beautiful colors and shapes of the "Pixie Dust" Sparkle Blend. I especially love those "shards." I used a heart die from Lawn Fawn's Magic Color Slider Die set for my windows, and I backed the shaker with some old patterned paper. I also used a sentiment from Altenew's "Crafty Friends" stamp set, which I stamped in Teal StazOn ink.

The soft colors of the Oxides used in this background really bring out the colors of this Sparkle Blend. It's soft, sweet, and pretty. I added just a few sequins on the top of the card with On Point Glue for more sparkle and a bit of dimension.

For me, it's nice to work in pastels once in a while. I usually use dark or vibrant colors, so this color palette gives my eyes a bit of a rest. I really, really love Pixie Dust, and I look forward to using it again soon.
