Wish Big
Hello bloggers! I went to my cut card stash pile again for the background of today's card. I selected some custard, blush and Arctic Blue card and cut them in one inch strips. I added them to another piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet added to it. I lined up the colours next to each other and then embossed the entire piece with the Balloon embossing folder for texture. I had to extend the design so I moved it along and embossed the rest of the piece. I cut the Stained Glass Birthday die starting from the outer die, I cut it in white. I added the next die cut in arctic blue card. I cut the birthday die with two pieces of white card at the same time. I used the bottom piece to colour the image with pastel markers. I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet and trimmed it to the edge of the oval. I added the white die cut on top then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut the Wish Big sentiment out of arctic blue card and added it to a white shadow backing die. I used foam mounting tape and added it below the focal element. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous card, what a great idea of the coloured strips in the background before embossing them, it certainly helps to use up our scraps of card, yes we all have some ha ha.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. Love the pastel colours you have chosen for the card today, making such a pretty, feminine creation. I think that the die you have used is so useful as it could be used for any age or gender.

Hi Sue, I love this alternative look to the Stained Glass Birthday die, a complete contrast to the usual strong colours used and I think it's perfect for any little girl into anything pink and sparkly :-)
