While rummaging around in my mess on my desk last week I came across this card but it was only half finished. So to-day I thought I would finish it and using a little artistic license it might qualify for to-day's challenge. (don't call the challenge police..okay?) LOL I am sure this particular pattern was popular a year or so ago (or maybe even longer) here on SCS...and yes I realize I am telling you how long it has been since I cleaned the top of my desk right down to the boards. I enjoyed finishing it off and I think I will make a few more for some birthdays coming up soon. The flame of the candles are coloured with prisma pencils and OMS and the gold swirl is a recycled gift bag using a sizzix die.

Such a great card. I wish I could come up with something this pretty out of my messy table. LOL My mess is pretty scary!
Hey, I was checking to see if a new photo of mine uploaded okay. Guess what? You and I are side by side (temporarily)on the new uploads page today. Great minds think alike. Pretty cool, huh?

This is so very pretty and it's nice to see a tall card, since they seem to be less common. I really like the way you chose to recycle the gift bag to make embellies. You've inspired me to try a card like this - thanks!

I really like this idea. I'm so glad to know you have a messy table. I can't seem to create when it's clean. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. tfs
