Birthday Wishes

Hello crafters!  I have a fun birthday card to share with you today.  I went back into my background stash and pulled out a piece of Pixie Sparkled card to use as the background.  I used Green Bay and Zesty Lime Pixie Sparkles to create this background.  I cut two of the Hexagon Background, one in white and one in black.  I shadowed the white one by offsetting the black die cut beneath it.  Next I glued the Pixied background behind it.  I made a multi layered frame using the Double Stitched Squares with a black frame underneath and a wide white frame on top.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame then attached a piece of white vellum across the lower part of the frame before attaching the frame over the background.  I cut the Belated Birthday Wishes sentiment in black and nipped away the word belated, then glued it to the vellum strip.  Using some leftover pixied background, I cut three balloons from it (from the Dotty Balloon set) then added their stings cut in black.  I attached the balloons to the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
