Happy Birthday

 

I have another card for you all today that I am entering in  three challenges.  The first is 10 Minute Craft Dash,  the second is Retro Sketches and lastly CASology.   The 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge for this week is a color challenge using these colors.


The sketch for Retro Sketches.
 

 Casology's Cue word is

 I immediately thought of candle flames and couldn't get that out of my head so had to run with it.  :)  I really thought I matched the blue/green with the blue/green in the challenge but not so much.  Bummer.  I used the spotlight technique on my candles, added some glitter to the wick to make them sparkle.  I finished my card in 8 minutes 49 seconds.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Soft Suede, Melon Mambo, Bazzill blue
Ink:  Soft Suede
Stamps:  Party this way
Accessories:  1/2" circle punch, owl punch for the little circles, dazzling details
