Here's my card for Challenge #1.
I love a good sentiment set and CAKE AND CANDLES is definitely a must have
for birthdays. I was especially smitten with the "make a wish" sentiment which,
if you look closely, has a cool, sketchy appearance.
I stamped the sentiment to resemble birthday candles and got a chance to use
Avery Elle's NEW pigment inks which give excellent stamp coverage.
I used four of my favorite colors, and the candle flames were
hand drawn with Copic markers and some glittery Stickles were added.
