Hey friends!! Popping in to share a card that I made a few days ago for a couple of challenges: Color Throwdown and Sweet Sunday Sketch. The stamps used are from Reverse Confetti, Color Me Happy and Beautiful Banners. When I got Color Me Happy I thought one of the brush stroke images looked like a candle so I used that along with a splatter image to create the candles. I did some partial embossing of the cardstock I used and then added some clear Wink of Stella to the "flames", but you can't see it in the photo... should have used Stickles. Since there wasn't a good spot to stamp a sentiment I added that to the middle candle. I think my idea to use the brushstroke as a candle turned out pretty good, but I must admit that I'm not really happy with the card. There is just something off about it, but I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is. Anyway, I made it (good or bad) so I'm posting it! 
Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections white; Hero Art blue; BasicGrey orange and red woodgrain patterned papers; Stamps: Reverse Confetti; Inks: Memento Tangelo, Cantaloupe, Danube Blue and Lady Bug; Star embossing folder
