Birthday Wishes
Good Sunday morning all! I cut the Birthday Wishes Background out of white card. I used Mermaid Lagoon, Squeezed Lemonade, Evergreen Bough and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks and sponged the colours in blocks. I added a white backing with a sticky adhesive sheet added to the background after sponging colour on it. I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas. Next, I added a white frame using the Double Stitched Squares. I cut the Cosmos Flowers in white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off the flowers, then added the outline die in white and sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining adhesive areas. I assembled the flowers and arranged them in the lower corner, adding white leaves as accents. he card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimension are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and all that visit. I've seen lot of cards on a website that sell your dies and CE stock made with the happy birthday die and they are all absolutely beautiful, that's down to the versatility of your designs and the many ways it can be used. Today's inspiration is just beautiful xxx
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Fantastic card Sue x I love how you have coloured the birthday wishes background x the cosmos flowers are really pretty x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful creation, the colours in the background really do make the words pop, I love using this die so will have a go at trying to do the colours...........knowing me I will need a covering from head to toe and rubber gloves before I attempt anything like it as I am terrible at getting inks everywhere I shouldn't ha ha you laugh! but it is true. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue . Lovely card today And although it's " just " a birthday card .... Its very different to what we usually see. And I like it. So summery looking. And wonderful colours. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
Morning Sue and all. I love this birthday die, but I normally put colour underneath not on top. After seeing this beautiful card I will definitely have to try it the other way around! Colleen xx
Hi Sue. What a great idea this card is. You could change the colours of the inks to reflect different seasons and the flourishes to suit other genders. I love the colours you have used on this card to give a really cheerful result.
Hi Sue I love the birthday wishes background die, it’s great for making a quick card and, like Colleen, I just put a different colour behind it. Thank you for inspiring us to try something different
