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
Good Morning Sue and all. What a wonderful start to the day. A gorgeous sample of what can be done. Thank you Sue for the inspiration. Have a nice day. Marie P.
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.
