I made this card for this week's featured stamper who is Barb (Amisjag). I had so much fun going through Barb's gallery, but it was this card that got my immediate attention: IC654 Me and My Crayons by Amisjag at Splitcoaststampers. It has crayons on it - hello! I still love crayons! However, I also loved the bold black/white design with the color of the crayons. Well, I need a lot of birthday cards for January so I decided to substitute candles for crayons. I am also entering this card into this week's CAS challenge with the theme of "Memories of the Past." Fun! So, I did good ole stamping using no stamping aligners at all (this is harder than I remember it being to do). I did use my cricut which I did not have 25 years ago and I used a circle die and did partial die cutting to get the lacy edge (again, we did not have dies 25 years ago). I very carefully added gold stickles to the candle flames so they are really sparkly and I did do this 25 years ago. Barb, your gallery is really beautiful and I am glad I know of your work now. I want to thank you for the wonderful inspiration because you helped me jump-start my birthday card making for January. Happy New Year everyone! ~Karen.
