Challenge TLC515 is to use a multi colored sentiment, so I die cut the happy in white and colored with markers. Then covered them with glossy accents which gives them depth and shine. I took a separate A2 sized piece of cs and made my diagaonal cut which allowed me to stamp "a whole lotta'", and then emboss the top portion. Then I reassembled both sections on my card front, added the glitter strip and stamped the candles. Stamped the rest of the sentiment on a fishtail flag which is popped up. Added dots and stickles for sparkle on the candle flames. Linking also to

Wow! This is terrific! I love the diagonal sentiments. That 'happy' couldn't be more cheerful in that great colour palette! The line of candles is brilliant in more than one way. :-) You coloured them beautifully. I really like the embossed upper panel and that you repeated the circles with some additional coloured dots. Fantastic birthday card. Into my favourites for some future casing!

Wow! This is Such a Happy birthday card! I love the staggering candles, pretty colors and fun dots sure to brighten someone's day! Pretty sparkly strip to separate the dotted embossing with the candles, and the angle makes this all the more sweeter~

I love the warm and sunny colors of your candles. Thanks for commenting on my card. The angled layout and increasing size of the candles is really a great look on this card!
