Happy Birthday

 Hello there my crafty friends!  How's this for a bright and cheery birthday card!  I started with a piece of white card and used Sun Yellow, Lava Red and Burnt Orange Pixie Powders all over it.  I dried it with a heat tool then used an anti static bag all over it.  Next I used the small birthday stamp that comes with the Happy die/stamp combo set and stamped it randomly all over the background piece using a clear perfect medium pad.  I coated it with clear detail embossing powder and heat set it.  It adds a nice subtle touch to the background, but if you would like it more prominent then you just need to do the stamping before you pixie, the words will stay the colour of the card.  I used the leftover piece of the pixied card and cut the Happy word out of it.  I kept all of the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the Happy die cut in black and glued to a piece of white card.  I stamped the birthday stamp again in black and cut it out with a tag and added it with foam to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Hello Sue and all.
    A gorgeous card on this beautiful sunny morning.
    I just love everything about it. The sentiment could be changed to suit the recipient and the card could be used for almost any occasion.
    Thank you for the inspiration.

  10. Hello Sue, fabulous card , I do love these bold word dies. I made a card similar in pinky purple colour using pixie sparkles for my granddaughter’s 13th birthday on Friday and also another for a male friend in his football team colours.

  12. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning and bright card to greet us on this rather dull Monday in Kent. The warmth of the colours really is heartening, the pixie powders are amazing as is the Happy but the bit that is so clever is the birthday embossed on the background, looks amazing.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
