Birthday Wishes

 Hi bloggers!  I selected a piece of pixied card as my background.  I made this piece by using Midnight Blue Pixie Powder on a piece of white gloss card.  I spritzed the powder with water then covered it with a scrunched up piece of cling film.  I cut two of the Beaded Cornice Border in white and glued them to the pixied background.  I cut the thin corner in the set in white and added them to the edges of the two borders.  I cut the Birthday Wishes Block sentiment in both white and Black Gloss card.  I added the white block to the centre of the card and paper pieced the Black Gloss sentiment into it.  I added the entire card to a larger piece of white card where I glittered the edges with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another super duper sample, love the blue background and the white flourishes, I have some black gloss card and always forget about it for the sentiment, thank you for that tip.

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

Morning Sue and all. Another beautiful card, with my favourite midnight blue - just gorgeous! Steph, I am so relieved to see you back, I’d been really worried. I’ve had back to back infections and antibiotics since September, but not as bad as you, because I have mercifully avoided hospital. Take good care, one day at a time. And when one day at a time is too much, do one hour at a time - Colleen xx

Midnight blue Pixie Powder - my all time favourite. The Beaded Cornice Border is such a beautiful intricate die and is so striking against that amazing background. Love the way you have emphasised the edges with the extra detail. Stunning x

Hi Sue. Love today's card. I always think dark blue and white together give a stunning result. I also love the fact that your die sets always work so well together. Any one would have thought you planned it that way :-)
