Happy Birthday

Hello bloggers!  Here's a quick and easy card for any birthdays in which you need a card!  I started with a piece of white card and sprinkled Midnight Blue Pixie Powders all over it.  I spritzed it with water then covered it with a piece of cling film and scrunched it.  I allowed it to dry overnight, then removed the cling film.  I cut the Happy Big Bold Word in both black and white.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white one and glued it to the background.  I stamped the Wish Big and Birthday and cut them out with the tag die in the set, then added them with mounting foam.  I made three glittered Button Flowers and added a few leaves from the Magnolia Corner as accents.  I added a glittered border using Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz around the edge of the card, then added white and black mats and layers to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 1/2"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous birthday card, I love the midnight blue pixie powdered background you have created, it is perfect for the 'Birthday' die, really makes it pop. It is handy to batch make a few of these backgrounds, let them dry and hey presto they are there when you want them. As you say a quick and easy card to make, and we always get asked for a quick card don't we.

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

Good Morning Sue and all.
I'm late today. My bed was so warm and cosy. Then I thought " I wonder what Sue has for us today" and here I am.
You have not disappointed, Your offer of the day is lovely and as others have said, it could be used in so many different ways. The background is beautiful and works so well/
Thank you Sue.

Hello Sue
I like how these big word dies can be used in so many ways. I made one for a friend covered in flowers and for my brother I stamped a sports car on to white card and cut out the happy die and paper pieced it. Now I am having fun making Christmas cards.Take care everyone x

Love the background; I know this achieved with pixie powders but it would be a seller for sure if Creative Expressions were to produce a range of these papers!. WakeyL

Hi Sue. This card shows just how quick and easy it is to create a striking card using this die (if you already have the background made in advance). I always think that dark blue and white are such a classy combination.
