Seize the Birthday - Candles

Hello friends.  It is time for our Seize the Birthday challenge and Shirley would like us to add candles to our cards for the "toppings" option this time.  Remember it is an option and the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
For my card I used the candles  and sentiment from MFT Make a Wish set.  I stamped the candles in different colors and then stamped the flames in yellow.  I fussy cut them, glued the flames on the candle wicks and then mounted them with foam tape to the background panel.  I stamped the starburst image from PTI Shine stamp set before adding the candles.  I also sponged some ink over the stamping to give the candles a glow.  The scallop white panel is cut with an MFT Blueprints 27 die and the cut out is made with a die from MFT Blueprints 3 (discontinued).  I mounted this panel with foam tape also.

Now you should check out the fun challenge over at Seize the Birthday and see what our Surprise Party Guest Annie and the design team have created for you.  I hope you will join us.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
