Congrats to Janice! What a lovely gallery! I picked 2 to case, Birthday and Birthday Dragon. I kept the birthday theme and used similar colors (love those bright contrasts!) but I made mine square, used different images and added a big bow.
For my 5 inch square card, I stamped the candles square twice and colored both w/ the markers. I cut the inside square out and lifted it a bit before attaching on top of the other image. The larger square was die cut w/ a Spellbinders square die.
I used a mini bowdabra to make the orange double looped bow and topped it off w/ a triple twine bow and the posy sentiment. This is attached to a cut out round posy. I added some Swarovski crystals on the candles and flames for a little sparkle.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups and a peek at my workbook are on my blog: The Write Stuff
