For the birthday card; I stamped the large happy birthday from Mama Elephant in Hero Arts black ink, I stamped both the large and small candles repeatedly in versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. I covered the piece with MFT's circle burst stencil and sponged on Chipped Sapphire Distress ink and MFT's Natural ink; love how you can see the embossed candles!
