Hello everyone, well believe it or not it is time for #55 of our challenges at Addicted to Stamps and More
which is a Photo Inspiration challenge, showing the happy birthday candles above. We are once again delighted to have Melonheads Illustrations as our sponsors, the details of their prize and the wonderful projects from the Design Team are all to be found on the main blog.
For my Design Team project i used a piece of black card which was later matted onto a piece of silver mirri then onto a white DL card. Using Versafine I stamped the candles with a wonderful candle stamp from Whispers - Do Craft company. There are 30 candles, but this can be used for any age, with a little cutting, either removing or adding more candles. Once stamped I patted various mica powder colours, across the candles, finally adding Glossy Accents to the flames with a small sprinkling of gold glitter, I really wanted the flames to be very bright, hope I've managed. The Happy Birthday letters, being honest, have been re-cycled from a card I received a few years ago, I kept the letters knowing one day, I would find a use for them. Once again I look forward to visiting you to see how you have been inspired by #55 Photo Inspiration.
Thanks for popping by, your visits and comments are always greatly appreciated.
