Hi Friends!
I'm been greatly stressed lately concerning the well being of my aged parents, and to relieve my stress, I have been visiting blogs, fiddling around my own blog and in the process discovered I had a couple of card images saved in drafts; waiting to be posted. So here's a card I'd made for my dad in Oct' 2011. I hope you like it.
Supplies used:
Brown cardstock base
White cardstock strip twirled on a knitting needle for the cake border
White Sharpie Poster Paint for the side and for the handwritten sentiment
Viva Sapphire Blue Glitter Liner to outline the number candles
Glitter in shades of blue & green used in sections of the numbers
Crayola colour pencils for the flame
Foam tape to adhere the candles
The cake & candles were drawn & cut manually. The cake decorating technique used is called "Cornelli Lace". See how I decorated cakes using this technique HERE. The card opened at the upper edge, just behind the candles.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
