So Many Candles, So little Cake





How's this for dimensions?? I was blog hopping yesterday, and came across an awesome blogger named Colleen, who did gorgeous quilling, but sadly, I can't remember now what her blog address is, so that I can link to her...but when I come across her again, I will edit this so you can see her awesome work!! She did a Christmas card that had paper candles on it, and I couldn't get them out of my head....so here is my version. I ran plain cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder, then rolled them up, and added a shiny gold flame, made from a punched heart cut in half! So easy!!! The paper and chipboard are from Imaginisce, the ribbon from the Dollar Tree, and the rest from my stash. Sanding the Cuttlebugged whitecore cardstock makes a great focal point to give the birthday greeting. Give it a try!
