Birthday Candles...
This week's theme over on the Less is More Challenge Blog is to make a card for a child. Couldn't let this one pass me by, I could do with some cards for children in my stash.
I took a few supplies out to a shady spot in the garden yesterday afternoon. and came up with this design.
It's another scrap buster card from me. I didn't cut into one full sheet of 6 x 6 to make it. They're the kinda cards I love.
The card base is 150 mm x 150 mm, the candles are around 15mm wide and I've used a 1" circle punch to make the candle flames.
Papers: My Minds Eye Dwell

Great use of scraps. Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteA great way to use up those scraps Vicky! I always lack kids cards, you've inspired me to start making some -thank you! I bet it was bliss crafting in the sunshine. We have beautiful weather today too -should reach 30-fingers crossed!If only I had the time to craft :(
ReplyDeleteHave a great day/weekend.
