Birthday Wishes

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of pixied card from my background stash pile.  It was created using Aqua Lagoon and Teal Wash Pixie Powders.  I cut the Dazzling Diamond die twice out of white card.  I cut both of them in half down the centre and glued the cut edges to the four sides of the pixied background.  I cut two of the centres of the Dazzling Diamond dies from the leftover pixied card and cut them in half and glued them to the white die cuts.  Using the Round Corner Squares, I cut a white frame and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I attached it to a piece of white card and added it to the middle of the card in a diamond orientation.  I cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes die in black and glued it inside the frame.  I added three small pearls above and below it as accents.  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

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Woahhh what a fabulous layout today. I love everything about it. The dies the colours and mostly the pixie background. I bought my first lot when they first came out. They last forever and still using. I love playing about with the colours to see what I come up with. And no two are ever the same. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.

Hi Sue. I love the way the art deco die designs have made what it quite a simple design into a stunning card even when they are not the main focal point of the card. Perfect.
