I wanted to think of a fun/clever way to incorporate this particular sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Stamp Set. I really like how the word "big" is accentuated! So....why not make a BIG candle???? I was hoping that my big idea would translate onto paper and I think it did! The sunrays from the My Sunshine Confetti Cuts created the perfect "flame" for the candle!
I added a big, gold gem to the middle of the candle for some extra detail and sparkle! A large strip of pattern paper from the Cue the Confetti 6 by 6 paper pad was the perfect candle! I just love all of the bright, fun prints in this pad!
The Stitched Rays Coverpanel is the perfect backdrop for this big candle! It looks like the flame is radiating from the candle! The sentiment is heat embossed in gold onto a strip of black cardstock. I cut the white piece slightly smaller so that I could mount it onto a Iced Aqua A2 card base using foam squares. I also spritzed the entire thing with shimmer spray before I added the sentiment strip. Happy Birthday, Jen! Make a BIG wish! Hugs, Kelly! Thanks for fluttering by!
Oh yes, this is so much fun!
