I always make special cards for my son's on their birthdays, so Carolin's challenge to use washi tape was perfect for birthday candles. I found a tutorial for a card in a box on pinterest...it was surprisingly easy. I added clear acetate to the inserts so I could make the colored images at different heights. All the images are digi stamps that I colored and fussy cut. I can't make simple cards or masculine cards, so my sons are used to getting "everything but the kitchen sink " , very elaborate cards. Even though this looks like it is for a 5 year old, my son is turning 22. I hope you play a long in this fun F4A challenge.
TFL, Francie

I knew this would be a Francie special for one of your sons as soon as I saw the thumb. It's such a fun card format, isn't it. It looks like a great party going on there, and the washi candles are super.
