My brother celebrated a big birthday this week. His card features seven candles, and although I forgot to photograph the inside, it reads "Times 10!"
I used another of my NBUS dies, and I can't understand why it's taken me so long. There are actually eight candles in the My Favorite Things "Happy Birthday Candles," and you can die cut them on the front of the card and back them with color. Since I only needed seven, I die cut them and colored them with Distress Inks. Then I arranged them on the front of the card, using the negative die cut as a guide to keep them straight and well-spaced.
The sentiment from Papertrey Ink was die cut with gold mirror cardstock, and the flames from a gold glitter paper. (Not a stamp to be seen on this card!)
I used my Hero Arts "Rounded Rectangles" to die cut the main panel, and rounded the bottom corners of the card for a bit of interest.
The current challenge at AAA Birthday is "Twinkle" and I think the candles definitely qualify. I'm also linking up with Darnell's NBUS challenge for December.
