Best Day Ever!
Hi bloggers! This is a card that I made with some left over die cuts from two other cards! I selected a piece of white card and used the Balloons Embossing folder on it to add texture. I used the two blue balloons that were die cut from other cards (but not used). They were cut from a piece of card that I used Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders on. I coated them with Cosmic Lacquer to give them a shine. I attached them to the embossed background with mounting foam and added some squiggly strings to them from the Dotty Balloons die set. I cut the Best Day Ever sentiment in black and added it to the lower corner. 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. What a great idea to make a card using the leftovers from another project. The pixie powders are such stunning colours it would have been a pity to let them go to waste.

Hi Sue
Happy Saturday everyone x
Oh yes - the stunning Pixied balloons with my favourite Pixie colours. I bet the balloons look even better ‘in real life’ with the cosmic lacquer to give them a shine. Unlike others, I do remember the embossing folder and I absolutely love it. Wonderful card x
Take care one and all x

This shade of blue you have used for the balloons is one of my favorite colors, and I love how the color pops against the white. The balloon embossing folder is a plus. This card would be appreciated by anyone child or adult. Beautiful card.
Lovely card Sue!
