Happy Birthday

 Hello crafters!  I have another card made from scraps (I love it when I can use them up!)  I selected a piece of black card and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I selected pixied card that I had leftover that wasn't quite enough to use by itself on a card and cut them all into 1/2" strips.  I laid all the strips down, leaving a small gap between them rather than butting them up against each other.  Once I had finished all the strips, I used Black Onyx Glitter in all the in between areas for a bit of bling.  I used the largest balloon outermost cutting die and cut two apertures out of the background.  I added mounting foam to raise the piece and added a black backing piece to it.  I cut the outermost decorative die twice from the large balloon in white.  I recessed them down into the apertures, then used the original fall away piece and cut it with the large balloon die (minus the decorative edge) and added them back into the aperture.  I cut the Happy Birthday Candle die in both white and black, shadowed it and glued it to the top left.  I cut the Best Day Ever sentiment the same way and glued it to the lower right.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
