Seize The Birthday - Candles


Helloooo! We've got a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, with an optional theme of Candles, chosen by Colleen.

I was rummaging in my stash and found this stamped image of a birthday cake with candles, so it just needed colouring and and blinging up a bit.  It's an old woodblock stamp, couldn't tell you what make.  The background was also in my stash so I just die-cut it with a Penny Black die.  And added some splatter. The sentiment is from Uniko.

If you don't want to use our candles theme, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.  Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what our surprise guests and the design team have created, then play along.

    I love this wonky cake - how fun. And I love the way you brought it to life with that fabulous background and your great color choice for your sentiment strip. I am so happy to have the opportunity to design with the team. Thanks so much for having me.

    Oh Shirley this is fabulous, it looks like a 3 tiered cake ready to topple, but I love how you added it to this card at an angle, and all those candles are fantastic!

    How gorgeous it looks!! I love how you've colored the cake lightly and then padded it with the brighter colored background. Of course, that cake looks exceptional!! Absolutely love!
