The More Candles, The Bigger The Wish

Hello bloggers!  Here's a super simple but really pretty birthday card, perfect for anyone who is having a birthday!  I started with my beloved Pixie Powders and used Midnight Blue heavily and just a smidge of Purple Violet for contrast.  I cut The More Candles All In One out of a piece of it and cut another larger piece of the pixied card as a background.  I covered a piece of coconut white card with a sticky adhesive sheet and cut it the same size as the All In One.  I attached the die cut to it and used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining exposed adhesive.  I cut the scalloped backing piece from the die set in white and glued the All In One to it.  I attached it to the larger pixied piece with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size. in size.  All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue. I do love these all in one dies as you can make really quick cards with them and the results are so effective. Of course they can be made even quicker if you have a stash of pixied papers already made. Love the colours you have chosen today.

A beautiful color from the Pixie Powders and I really really like the sentiment. It’s bound to bring a bit of laughter on a special birthday. I can imagine sending it to my sister. Her birthday is July 7 and mine is July 8, just 1 year later. Whenever possible, we’ve always celebrated together but I know she’d be laughing if she received a card from me with this sentiment.
