My stepson was 40 the other day - this is the card that I made for him using a Docrafts candles stamp (it is a long stamp with 25 candles on it, so I stamped twice and cute 5 off each image). I can't remember where I got the text card from, but I've got lots of it in different colours. The piece on the shape at the top was in my offcuts box - I used another piece to print our message on the inside of the easel strut.I coloured the candles with spectrum noir pens and promarkers.
I'm entering this into these challenges:
As you like it: favourite colouring medium and why - alcohol markers - have lots of copics, promarkers, flexmarkers and spectrum noir (my favourite now)
Graph it week 11: male colours
Hiding in my craftroom 141: colour it - markers
Sunday stamper 299: happy
Dream valley 77: big birthdays
Craftin desert divas 26: birthdays
Whoopsi Daisy: birthday
Paper pretties 301: birthday cards
Seize the birthday: anything goes birthday
Fussy & fancy 109: birthdays
Bloggers challenge: they say it's your birthday
Amusing challenges (stamped blessings): fancy folds
Totally papercrafts 210: shaped cards
Hobby cutz 39: shaped card
Cardz 4 guys 9: typography - words
Pile it on 11: for a guy
Nutcrafters 63: boys, boys, boys - male card
Stempelsnne 110: boys/men birthdays
The artistic stamper creative team blog March: letters, words and numbers
A creative romance: seeing double - I used the same stamp but cut five candles off different ends so they didn't look quite the same
Fairytale 87: an old stamp (one of the first I bought ages ago)
One crazy stamper March: anything goes
Little red wagon 228: truly dimensional
Treasured times 14: anything goes with layering
