THEN, Hambo Hoedown gave us repeat crafters the "CANDLES" digi image by Hambo Stamps to work with and I knew I had to combine them. Not only were we to use the image but we had to use FOUR of something else (because of the FOUR candles. You could choose 4 different colors (Check), 4 flowers (Check+), well you get the picture. However, we couldn't count the candles!
- I cut the oval off the cupcake image and colored it. I used that "pattern" to cut out the white card blank/blue mat/and confetti paper top layer. Once those were attached, I used the copic colored oval to "finish" the edge.
- The cupcake is copic colored and then the icing is white liquid pearls with multi-colored stickles for the sprinkles.
- I mounted it on the inside of the window card and placed an oversized yellow mat over it-that way it shows through to the front making 3 oval frames.
- I LOVE these CANDLES from Hambo and they also come with 3 different sentiments that can be combined or individually used. I used copics on them and then used a white gel pen for the white on the flame/shoes-of course stickles again for the melting candle top. I wanted them to be front and center so I used foam dots under the platform to raise them up in front of the oval.
- Added some lavender baker's twine, flowers with buttons and brads and a gorgeous METAL Butterfly. This card has a lot going on but I think it's such a cheerful FUN card I think I'll be forgiven.
