It's Your Birthday
Hello bloggers! We are back to once a day posts for a bit! I found this piece of sort of experimental pixie powdered card. I started with a piece of silver mirror card and sprinkled Midnight Blue Pixie Powders on it. I spritzed them with water and covered with a piece of cling film, then scrunched it up to add texture and set it aside to dry. Using the Looped Squares, I cut three white frames using three different sizes of the die set. I added them to the pixied card with mounting foam. I cut the It's Your Birthday sentiment in white three times, stacked them, then added a black shadow behind it. I used the little candle die cut in blue and added a yellow flame to it with a marker. I glued it on top of the "i" in birthday. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
Your looped squares are amazing because apart from a pretty background colour you don't need much more other than a sentiment and you've got such a lovely card.

Good morning Sue,
Wow,Wow, Wow what a stunning card plain & simple but truly spectacular. I love the blue pixie powders background with your fabulous looped square dies which really add that touch of class.Yvonne xx
A lovely card, I like how you have used the candle and the pixie powdered background is great, I must have a go using cling film, I do make a lot of my own backgrounds but had forgotten about this technique so thank you for the reminder Sue.
Morning Sue - what an amazing effect using pixies on mirror card! And like many others, the looped squares are probably my most used dies! Colleen xx
Gorgeous coloured background for your lovely card :))
Lovely card, Love the pixie powders.
It's a so effective card with the looped square frames and that tiny candle for the "i"!!
Absolutely love the background and the die is so cute, using a candle for the ‘i’. Blue & white combo is always a favourite, but this has something extra. Thanks Sue x
Lovely bright card Sue. Beautiful looped square frame.
Love the looped squares, I had them on my Christmas list but they seemed to be out of stock in many places! I am intrigued by the pixie method, I wouldn’t have thought to put pixies on Mirri card, but I thought it would crack if scrunched u? Must try it out. Thank you Sue.
Stunning card! I’ve never thought to use Pixie Powders on mirror card. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Sue. I do like these looped borders as they are ornate without being too fussy. Great background too, I wouldn't have thought of using pixie powders onto Mirri card.
