Now Jenny may not be quite as excited as I am about this card but I did have a fun time making this. I saw a card on Pinterest which led me to this card on Splitcoast Stampers. Decided to stick with my Stampin Up card stock and papers as I know that it all goes together and takes that little worry away. The base card is Old Olive and then topped with Very Vanilla. I then challenged myself to finding 50 different SU patterned papers. I do not have a huge collection but when they are double sided it did make the challenge easier. I even missed adding a couple as they were mainly Old Olive colouring and I thought that would be too much. The lady above had used the colour wheel to arrange all her candles so I did the same. The candles are 7cm x 1.5 cm, I then hand drew the black wick and panicked a little as I couldn't find a stamp for the flame. Made my own….. cheshire grin. :-) I found a foam shape in my collection that stamped up as a flame…I just added the backing to it so I could attach it to my acrylic block.
The front is computer generated with silver sticker border.
Across the top I have attached multi coloured Happy Birthday stickers.
I hope my SIL forgets in the number and enjoys the special day.
Have a good one everyone.
You must have a lot of patience - Hope your SIL has a good sense of humour - lol-great card.
