Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a birthday card using the Make a Wish sentiment! I love the two sizes mixed together on a card. I began by texturing some mixed media card stock. I cut the Make a wish out of the Stone Grunge texture plate--and then I hand-colored the paper with Spectrum Noir markers and rubbed with metallic creams. The square background was created similarly with Mixed Media Card Stock. I then stamped with a deckle stamp the background and rubbed creams to create the color. A border Strip with the Dancing Doily lace was added to one edge of the textured square. A "candle: was created with a rolled up 2" strip of paper--the edges were rubbed with metallic rubs as well. Finally a Sweet Christine flower was colored with markers and glittered. It was then cut into flame shapes and added to the candle using a toothpick to hold it in place. Finally a few more Sweet Christine Flowers were colored and glittered. A pearl bead was added to the centers as a final touch.
