Pixie Powders Background

Another Christmas card today.

I made the background a while ago when I was experimenting with Pixie Powders on black card.  I thought I would make a lovely night sky for the Memory Box 'Frosted Christmas Tree' die cut.  I added some glitter along the edge of the branches of the tree to add some extra sparkle and shine.  The sentiment was stamped in navy, layered on a snippet of the leftover background card and raised up on foam pads.

Here is a close-up of the background.  I love how the Pixie Powders shine when the light catches them.  The colours look even more vibrant IRL.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  3. Pixie powders are so effective on dark card and in this case they combine so well with the lovely white tree.

  4. That gorgeous white tree just pops against that stunning background. Pixie powders are new to me but they sure do make a fantastic background.

  10. A very different card from you, and love so much your "experiment" with pixies powders! I have brushos but I don't think they work on black. Your sky is just stunning and so magical, just the perfect background for the white tree!!

  12. The background works perfectly with the white tree to the fore Liz and your second photo shows the variants in colour so well, not had those powders out in an age but might need to follow your inspiration. Many thanks for sharing and joining in our 'Sparkle and Shine' theme at Allsorts challenge.
