The Paper Players #802

Joanne is our host this week at The Paper Players #802 and while it's a subject I do not celebrate anymore, it sure was a good reason to have a little fun between loads today!

Concord & 9th's Let it Shine set provided all my fun today for TWO cards!

This first one in happy colors:

I even brought in a little sparkle using glitter cardstock for the

candlelight... the yellow background is from 

HoneyBee's Over the Rainbow dsp collection.

But I have to admit I had THE MOST fun with my next card...

The candles are repeatedly stamped but stamped ten at a time... you'll see

it is the stripes from the medium candle on my first card - pretty

clever of them to think of this.

However! The flame is one tiny stamp - I lost count how many times

I stamped it, but it left the door open for this fantastic sentiment

from SB's Birthday Laughs Sentiments and the wicks I added

using a Copic Multi-liner marker.

Okay, my friend Vicki reminded me of the steps to take to post two cards from one post in a challenge link... fingers crossed!  Thanks Vicki! [and TK told me this years ago, too but I forgot. Comes with the number of candles on MY cake!]
