So Many Candles, Too Many Birthdays
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of pixied card to use for today's offering. The card was covered in Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders. I cut a small square of the pixied card then added a white frame over it using the Looped Squares. I cut two more larger Looped Squares out of white card and matted them. I added the smaller blue frame to the centre in a diamond orientation. I cut three candles for each corner out of the leftover pixied card and added them with mounting foam. I cut the So Many Candles sentiment out of white and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the inside of the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a brilliant fun card, am loving the blue pixie background and candles, you can see all the detail on the candles from the dies, and the looped layers, brilliant. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi again Sue and another beautiful idea from you. The colours you chose are just perfect for a male celebration but imagin numerous shades of pinks etc the looped square dies really attract your eyes to the rest of the design too, I've been so lucky to have been chosen randomly over the past 12 years or so to have my name picked at a launch and had some pretty dies but being chosen for the looped square frames was just the biggest thrill and I love using them so much when I can, my crafting has unfortunately dried up since Covid, I get the odd order now but believe me Sue, recently I've used some older dies from way back mixed with these looped dies and I can't do them justice enough, so thank you for your constant work and for constantly sharing your ideas and inspiration, this is definitely the place to be. Hope our family are doing OK and feeling as good as possible. Love to all xxx
Good morning Sue, a great card, love everything about this design from the pixie powdered card, the looped squares you have used and the great fun sentiment and candles Marion S x

Good Morning Sue. A great card this morning. I love the pixies cards. Always a go to If I can't find a coloured piece of card I need. I love to watch the magic it makes when sprayed with water. This is a great card and ideal for the older members of the family ... With a lovely fun sentiment that wont offend the recipient. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
