Happy Birthday

Hello bloggers!  I knoew I am just bombarding you with the Endless Option Collection this week, but I just love these!  I started this one by cutting the Paulette Background in white.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it.  I covered another piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off and added Iced Snow to it, then added the Paulette die cut over the top of it.  On another piece of white card I used the Summer Sky and Lilac Rose Opal Polishes.  I swiped them on randomly and allowed the dry.  I used the Paulette Edgers to cut the centre and both side pieces out of it.  I glued them over the areas in the background.  I cut a Decorative Flag die in white and glued it over the centre border and tucked the trimmed ends under the two side borders.  I used a small piece of leftover polished card to cut the Happy Birthday sentiment from it and glued it to the flag.  I made a Jasmine flower as an accent that I cut out of card covered with sticky adhesive.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to add a sparkle to it, then assembled it.  I accented it with pieces cut from the Magnolia Corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Good Morning Sue on this beautiful looking sunny morning.

    You certainly don't need to apologise for anything at all. You give me a reason to get up in the morning and today you were right there waiting for me so I didn't need to search.
    I love this card, the colours are soothing and the glitter is exciting.
    You are proving to us that there is an endless option.
    Thank you.

  26. Hi Sue, I can't believe that I did not leave a comment yesterday as I thought the card was gorgeous, loved everything about it. Today's card is equally lovely with the soft touches of colour from the opal polishes and the sparkly iced snow. I only have the Martha dies but you can give me as much inspiration on all of these dies as you like, they are amazing.

    Beautiful card. I love it. I like the textures and the high-low technique you used on this design. I like the shine of the Opal Polished elements, and the sparkle on the flower and the layer just under the Paulette die cut. I see, too, teeny-tiny pearls that you accented the Paulette die. You named this Endless Options collection appropriately because of the multiple patterns one can get from each one of these sets. Personally I spent the better part of one day die cutting patterns just from one set of these Endless Options. I am sure I did not get all of the possible patterns cut from it. Well done and thank you for sharing. Hugs
