It's been a bit quiet on here lately. Sorry, I've been busy with other things, will try to be better this week. :)
Before I get into it I would like to apologise for the photo today. My camera battery had died and I had to get the card to the party, so I took the photos on my iPhone. Not that great I'm afraid, but still better than nothing.
This card was for Charlotte's little friend Erik who turns 6 this week. Luckily we got his party in at the park this afternoon before the rain. Happy Birthday Erik!
I used the Clean & Simple sketch #132 and the colour inspiration is from The Play Date Cafe Colour Challenge 74.
I had seen these clever paper candles made by Jen over at i{heart}2stamp and just had to try them. When I looked at the Clean & Simple Sketch I thought that they would work well together.
The candles are made from rolling a piece of DSP and inserting the wick. Jen used baker's twine for the wicks of her candles, but since I didn't have any, I broke a real candle apart and used a real wick!
The colours are Pacific Point and Concord Crush. The Concord Crush is looking very blue in this photo, it is more of a purple IRL.
There was hardly any stamping on this card, only the sentiment! Once again I have used Perfect Punches.
(All SU unless otherwise stated)
Stamp sets: Perfect Punches
Cardstock/ DSP: Pacific Point, Concord Crush DSP
Inks: Concord Crush
Accessories: Poly Ribbon (Concord Crush), Large Oval Punch, Button (own stash), Linen Thread, Wick
Please contact me if you require any info and feel free to leave me a comment, I love reading them!
Hopefully I'll be back soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi S. The candles are perfect for the sketch & look really cool. Must try some. Love the ribbon & button detail too. I'll have to get you to do all the class bows now (hee hee).
