Hello bloggers! Out came the pixie powders for today's creation! I started with a piece of coconut white card and used Midnight Blue, Purple Violet and Teal Wash pixie powders. I spritzed them with water then added another layer to make them more intense in colour. Once dry, I cut the Dotty Scalloped Background die out of the piece. I used the die to cut another one out of white card and used it as an offset shadow behind the background. I added a black backing behind both of them. I used the Double Stitched Squares to cut a wide frame out of white card and added it with foam. Next, I cut all three of the Dotty Balloons in white gloss card and added a white backing to them. I added strings to each of the balloons and mounted them in the upper corner of the frame. I cut the Not Older, Just Better sentiment in white and glued it to the opposite corner. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue,
I do like this sentiment especially for the more mature friends and relatives. lol
Lovely background. Lovely card. Hugs xxx Pauline
Hi Sue. This is a first EVER, I was treated to these dies during my big (forgotten) birthday and Christmas by 'my keeper' I've not yet had the reason to use the background die or expression die but I'm going to - today ☺ so thank you for giving me the push to use this collection after all there's no point having money spent on me if I don't use them, hope I can do them justice and make a card as pretty as your inspiration. Hope all our U.K. bloggers are safe with no or minimal damage, thinking of you all xx
Enjoy your day Sue whatever your designing today lol xxx

A lovely pixie powders background that really sets off the white balloons & great sentiment. Yvonne xx
The balloons really stand out against that stunning

completely different card,

Hi Sue. Not too sure about this one. I think there are just too many dots which makes it a bit busy for me - sorry.

Hello Sue and all
I can’t miss this card, love the pixie background with the die cut, the peep of white and the black too. I have used my balloons so often, they are a go to for a great, quick birthday card. I hadn’t thought to use gloss card but that would be fabulous for balloons. Love it Sue
Hugs

I have a balloon die set and felt I didn't need this one but I am getting tempted when I see this gorgeous and happy card. Love the background die too.
I hope we all have seen the worst of this bad weather and are all of safe,
