ABC11Q17: This week's letter is Q...I'm still caught up! I didn't do the double challenge. Can you see my Q on the card? It is really tiny! Didn't find it? My Q is question mark...and there are two of them after now where's the cake?!?
I didn't have a chance on Monday to try the technique challenge but worked it into today's card - though mine has candles, not floral. I want to make another one but with floral this time. My colors were based on color challenge 734 except that I don't have the grapefruit grove color so I subbed in Flirty Flamingo.
I stamped the big birthday candle at the top of the base and the bottom of the tag. I added the small candle across the bottom of the tag as well.
I thought this sentiment from Whimsical Words was perfect with all of these candles! That part of the sentiment is heat embossed. Then I added the sentiment from Tasty Trucks with the question marks.
Putting the tag on top of the card base, I thought it looked a little too plain so stamped some "stars" from Simon Says Stamps Deco Borders & Corners to add some color to the base, now I think I should have left it clean.
I sponged Daffodil Delight around the tag edges, added some pink ribbon, popped the tag up, and called it finished.
Thanks for looking!

Those chunky candles mixed with the slim trim ones look super gracing your tag and bg. Really fun sentiment!

Oh, what a fun birthday card! Certainly enough candles here for a big wish to come true.
The first time I tried this technique I added a lot of stuff to my base, but when I was making the samples for the TLC I stuck to clean. I think both work, I actually really like all those little lozenges/stars you added.
