I really like Girlia's birthday card, with die cut presents! Her stenciled balloon BG was so fun, but it would have been covered up with my candles, so I embossed the sparkler BG instead. The candles were die cut, stenciled and I added circles for the glow, cut from gold vellum. The BG was stamped with versamark and embossed with gold powder. The sentiment was hot foiled and die cut. Here's her fun card.

Fabulous card! I am always on the look out for great candle cards -- especially for the guys -- and I have this one fav'd for future reference. I think the sparkler bg was a fabulous choice. It adds such a celebratory look to those candles. Love the addition of the gold velum to show off the flames. Fantastic design; Fantastic card.
