Stampin' Up! Wanted to Say Candle Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, basic beige.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen basic beige, fresh freesia and calypso coral from the colour coach to work with. 

I made a 50th birthday card for my SIL on the weekend and it inspired today's card. When I was working out the spacing with cardstock scraps I had 9 pieces of cardstock and one odd coloured and I thought it would work perfectly for one of the Basic Beige colour combinations. I found that the Dandy Designs DSP (you can find it on the clearance rack) had the best patterns for my candles in the colours I was working with. I've used the Petal Park punch for the candle flame and I inked the edges of everything with coordinating inkpads. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Wanted to Say dies and I raised it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished off the card with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  The only stamping on the card is the word "celebrate" inside the card (from Softly Said stamp set).

Fabulous card Ros, I love you candles, very clever and a beautiful colour scheme

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

As always, a very creative card, Ros. I really like that the sentiment stamped in black is a great complement to the black mat behind the die-cut sentiment on the front. Great idea to have a "stand out" candle on the front of this lovely bright card!

[Catherine Proctor]

Ros, you are so clever to think to use the Petal Park punch for the candle flame! I love this card layout and i'm sure your SIL loved it too!

[Theresa Gerrard]

You are right Ros, your leftovers have made a great card to feature Basic Beige. Nifty idea to use the Petal Park die for the candle flame.

[Rachel Palmieri]

What a cute idea having the odd coloured candle Ros.

[Kate Morgan]

Love it, Ros. Such a great design that can be adapted for any birthday. Loved your special 50th card too - lots of work - but awesome outcome!

[Rosa Leyden]

Ros what a fabulous idea to use strips of colourful patterned DSP for the candles . I love the row of irregular candles and the odd one out.

[Andrea Sargent]

A wonderful birthday card Ros. I love the way you have one candle a different colour from the others and using the Petal Park punch for the flame is brilliant. Love it. xxx

[Vicki Boucher]

You are so clever!! I love the candles and your card.

[Michele Taylor]

How clever of you to use the Petal Park punch for the flame on the candles Ros. A fabulous birthday card.
