Happy Birthday To An Amazing Friend

Hello bloggers!  I selected a wild purple pixied background for today's card.  I used Purple Violet Pixie Powders to create it.  I cut two of the Scalloped Circles in white and matted them.  Next I used the Toucan set and cut the greenery from it many times to create a wreath around the inside of the circle.  I used some of the leftover pixied card and cut half a dozen flowers from the Hummingbird set and added them to the greenery.  I cut the lone hummingbird out of a small pieece of Aqua Lagoon pixied card and added him to the right right of the circle.  I used the Happy Birthday To An Amazing Friend sentiment cut out of the pixied card and shadowed in black.  I glued it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
This is very striking, the colour would really stand out amongst the others, but not just the cour but the beautiful sentiment this inspiration holds, I have a couple of really special friends that I wouldn't hesitate adding this to their card.
If your still making memories with your lovely daughter I hope you have fun, but if you've had to wave her off home, I hope you'll be reliving the visit for a good few weeks as I do lol.
Stay happy stay well keep safe xx

Hi Sue. I am not sure if the colours have not come across too well on my laptop but I find the use of all the strong colours has resulted in a card that is a bit too busy for me - sorry.
