This is a card for our son-in-law, Chaz. When I saw the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge today - SC292 - I thought, OMG! that is weird!!! (no offense to the creator), I don't think I'm going to try that one! lol But, I turned it sideways, and knowing I had to make a birthday card, the candle idea came to me. Well, just so happens I had these cute digi candles by gtc-crafty corner, which is here: http://gtc-craftycorner.blogspot.com/. So, I put three of them together and scewed them to fit the design, colored with copics, found the make a wish sentiment (sorry, can't remember where I got that...if anyone knows, please tell me and I'll give credit here), cuttlebugged the core'dinations cardstock, sanded it, and put it all together. Some Stickles, and there you have it! Nice cheery birthday card for a guy! Hope he likes it, and that you do to!
I used the colors from Color Throwdown - CTD104, which can be found here: http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2010/08/color-throwdown-104.html.
