40th birthday card


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)

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
