Happy Birthday To You

Hello bloggers!  I decided to do a quick Birthday card in silhouette.  I started with a piece of Pixied card that I used Lava Red, Burnt Orange and Sun Yellow Pixie Powders on to create.  I used the Square Aperture die and cut it into the pixied card.  I lined up the inner scalloped dies on to a piece of black card and cut them.  I glued the two pieces together then added a white backing with mounting foam.  Using the Birthday Accessories and some of the pieces from the Birthday Shadowbox die set, I added them into each of the four apertures.  I used the bow off of the Happy Easter die set at the top of the card.  Using the Double Stitched Square die set, I added a black frame around the outside of the apertures.  I added a Happy Birthday To You sentiment across the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Fabulous. Now this would be wonderful for those awkward males, a cracking idea for anyone but because of the silhouette I feel its that that says "make a guy smile with this card"
Hope everyone is well, had a lovely Mother's day and stay well xxx

Good Morning Sue. A lovely card today. But I have to agree with Pauline about the cup cakes. We would have to think they were liquorice cakes. So sorry Sue. But as always I love your background. Thankyou. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE STAY SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Deb E Isle of Wight said...

Love it... The pixies set of the silhouettes beautifully but its the dies themselves that do the work and this range is fab. Can't get enough of the aperture sets..

Hi Sue, I'm sorry to say that I am not too sure about this card. I do like silhouettes but I don't think the birthday accessories work as well as your stained glass dies for example. I will re-visit during the day and see if it grows on me :-)

Hi Sue. I am glad you said that this was a really quick card to create because I thought that it would have taken longer with all the detail. I suppose that is what we are all after at the end of the day - a card that looks really intricate but is quick and easy to make!

The Birthday Accessories are really adorable, and they as wonderful accents to the card. The pixie powder background works well with all the elements on the card. Hugs.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
