Happy birthday!

 I made this card recently, for my friends young daughter...

I made this card using lots of scraps of patterned paper.

I used my guillotine to cut the scraps into strips to represent candles.

I cut the little flame shapes and added glossy accents ontop, 

and a touch of golden glitter pen.

The sentiment was stamped. 

I faux-stitched around the backing paper, with my Sakura pen

and added a dry embossed line around the edge of the card to finish it off.

I would like to add this into the following challenges...

3 Cactus

I used a Pattie's Creations image for this card - "3 cactus in pots."

 I used my alcohol markers to colour the 3 images and

fussy-cut around each one, so I could pop them into a group. 

The middle cactus is on 3D foam, so it stands proud of the other two.

The sentiment is from a stamp from Kaisercrafts

and the papers have been in my stash a looong time!
