Happy 97 Years Young

Hello!  Today I have the longest/widest card that I have ever made.  I created this birthday card for my Mother who will be 97 years young on the 20th...... a candle for each year!  I was inspired by a card that I saw at Fab 'n' Funky challenges made by Ginny. See her card on her blog My5Bratz Creations here. 
I must admit I took a short cut and printed my card using Photoshop and Print Shop  instead of cutting the candles like Ginny.  I used Cheery Lynn Dies for the Happy Birthday and cut the number 97 with my Cameo. After assembling the card, I added some sparkle to each candle with Clearstar pen and Red Glitter Stickles.

Challenges:
Fab 'n' Funky Challenges:  #333 Birthday with a Number. Thanks for the inspiration, Ginny!
Shopping Our Stash Weekly Challenges: Stickle Me Elmo! Use Stickles or a similar product.  Used Clear Star Pen and Red Glitter Stickles on candle flames, all 97!
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Simon Says Winter Birthday. I may be "stretching" this card to fit a Winter Birthday challenge but the birthday is in the winter and all those candles warm things up.
Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes for Birthday

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Wishes for a Birthday

This was a fun card to make using The Print Shop and Photoshop. I found this backdrop of skies, clouds, and rainbow and sized for a card and printed on White CS. The butterfly is PS clipart that I printed and cut,shaped  and attached with glue.  Added some sparkle with a Sakura glitter pen to butterfly and rainbow. The sentiment is a Mark's Finest Paper stamp from "Happy Pansies" stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa. I distressed the edge of the image and attached to a card base of yellow CS.

Challenges:
Flutter By  Wednesday's: Open challenge with a butterfly.
Little Red Wagon Challenge: Theme is Animals.

Thanks for stopping by! Theresa
