I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Time Out's 7th birthday party!
In honor of this occasion, I designed a card with seven candles much like the one for my brother when he turned 70. This time, however, I die cut the candles from scraps of brightly colored cardstock and mounted them on black cardstock. I love the contrast.
To make it more festive, I added flames and a sentiment die-cut from My Favorite Things "Gold Sparkle" cardstock. The candles are die cut with MFT's "Birthday Candles" die and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's "Good Times" set.
I decided on a square card, and trimmed the focal piece before adding it to the card base with black foam for some dimension.
I hope you'll hop over to the Time Out Challenge and see what the Design Team has created---and join in. It's always good to have a few birthday cards in your stash!
