Happy Birthday

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by covering a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, the embossed it with the Quilted Pillow embossing folder for background texture.    I cut the Happy Big Bold word die out of white card then glued it to the white backing shadow piece.  I made a piece of Pixie Sparkle card using the Teal Marine colour.  After it dried, I cut the Happy Big Bold Word out of it and kept all of the fallaway pieces from it.  I paper pieced them back into the white Happy outline.  I stamped the Birthday sentiment and cut it out with the tag die and added it with foam mounting tape to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Hi Sue, this is beautiful from start to finish, I adore the Teal Marine shade of blue. These quick card designs are sometimes the best but there's one thing for sure even if every single person here and those in the background decided to make this card and follow every point our cards would all be totally different due to the way these gorgeous Pixies work and explode into magical colours, I just love the ease, colour and design one in a million - literally.
    Whatever everyone's plans today, enjoy the UK weather, stay safe, get your vaccine and look forward ❤ xx

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I'm surprised that it's still morning as I did not want to leave
    my bed and was wrapped tightly into my Duvet but here I am and it's a beautiful sunny morning and a beautiful card to start the day.
    I really like the big bold letters and the way you present them. Every day we are inspired and long may it be so.
    Hugs.
