Birthday Wishes

Hi bloggers!  Today's card was started by embossing a piece of white card with the Bubble Burst Embossing folder.  Once embossed, I used Aqua and Wisteria Matt Chalk Polish over the top of the embossed card.  I cut the embossed piece into four strips and added mounting foam to the backs and attached them to another piece of white card.  I cut the Cut Corner Rectangle dies in both white and wisteria card to make a multi-layered frame.  I added it to the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Wishes die out of wisteria card and added it to a white shadow backing, then glued it to the centre of the frame.  I stamped the word birthday (from the Wishes De/stamp combo set) and added it above the wishes inside the frame.  I used three small balloons from the Birthday Shadowbox die set and cut them in aqua, wisteria and lilac card.  I wrapped the tails around the end of the wishes die and added them t the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Happy Wednesday everyone x
Oh I love this. That Embossing Folder has passed me by and I’m not sure how because it’s amazing. It really pops with those colours. This is definitely a ‘suitable for all’ card x

Good Morning Sue
Another beautiful card to start the day.
I just love the card you have made from beginning to end. I'm sure I have an embossing folder like the one you have used and it's high time I sorted the drawer out.
The colours you have used are lovely.
Thank you Sue.

Good color combination with aqua and wisteria. Love the way you designed the card. What is your secret for keeping color off the background of an embossing folder. Very well done! Hugs, Judy Hollers from NC
