colourful candles

This week at Seize the Birthday, Colleen has chosen the theme candles. I don't have a lot of options for candles in my stash so I decided to make my own with some washi tape. The flames were made by inking up some paper with distress oxides and then die cut with the drops from this die set.  Really happy with how this turned out - I credit my local crafty friends (J & D) with suggesting that I layer the flames.


Be sure to check out the rest of the creative creations from the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guests. Hope you can join us!


Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day.
Glenda

    Glenda, this is genius to use washi tape for your candles. I love the variety and how you cut the top of the candles as if they had been lit for awhile! Amazing card!

    Fabulous washi candles, Glenda! Genius idea to use layered droplets for the flames. I love how the sentiment spans the candles too.
