I used the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Birthday Scallops Die set and die-cut the candles from Pure White card stock and Smoke Grey card stock and adhered them together. I die-cut the candle flames from Pure White card stock and colored them with my Copics.

I die-cut the Happy word once from Banana Split cardstock and once from Dark Grey cardstock, and when I adhered them together, I off-set the yellow die-cut just a bit so there would be a grey shadow behind it.

Next, I used the Lattice A2 Die and die-cut it from Lemon Drop card stock, but left all the little pieces in place. Then, I die-cut that panel using a Rounded Rectangle Die and adhered it to a white Rounded Rectangle die-cut.

I arranged the candles on the front and glued them down. Next, I adhered that to a card base made from Dark Grey card stock. I used a corner rounder on my card base to match the rounded corners on my other pieces.

Next, I stamped the word birthday with VersFine Clair Morning Mist ink and die-cut it with a banner die. I adhered that to the front of my card, and then added a few of the grey dots left over from the candles to draw more attention to the sentiment strip.

The final step was to add some shimmer to the candle flames, and Viola! All done!

Thanks for stopping by!
