A6 Happy Birthday Wordage - Candles

Good Morning

Alice here with my Monday Blog.  Used this stamp previously, and it made me think of Birthday Candles on a cake, so that's where the inspiration for this came from.  A little bit of fun, I think.





Materials Used:

A6 Happy Birthday Stamp
6 x 8.25 Card Blank
5.75 x 8 pink Mat
5.5 x 7.75 White Stamping Card
Coloured Blending Pencils
Glitter pearl mist spray
Lemon, Candy Floss and Bubble Gum ink sprays
Paper Straws
Gold Glitter Card
Clear Embossing Powder
Gold Embossing Powder
Black Versafine Ink pad

  • Attached pink mat to white card blank
  • Using large oval die, I cut out an oval shape towards the top of the 5.5 x 7.75 White Stamping Card.
  • On the cut out Oval, I stamped "Happy Birthday", embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and coloured with the blending pencils.  I sprayed this with Glitter Pearl mist and left to dry.
  • Sprayed a Glass mat with some Lemon, Candy Floss and Bubble Gum ink sprays and swished the 5.5 x 7.75 stamping card in it.  Dropped some splashed of each colour ink onto this background and left to dry naturally.  When dry, I stamped "Wishing You a" along the top of the card and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.
  • Attached inked Layer onto pink mat with foam pads
  • Stuck the Happy Birthday oval into the space it came out of.
  • Cut the paper straws to required length and attached along the bottom of the crd.
  • Used gold glitter card to cut out some flame shapes and added into to top of candles straws.
  • Finished off with some gold gems.
Thank you for looking.
