SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ RED, WHITE + ONE OTHER COLOR

 Hi friends!

Welcome to another SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!

This time we are asked to make a birthday card using RED and WHITE plus ONE OTHER COLOR

I like this challenge by JoAnn!~

This card was made using one stamp set:
MFT:  Make a Wish

I stamped the candles in red (CPD rockin red) and the flames with the same color, only stamped off once, then I added the heart stamped in red again.
My second color I kept black because I was needing more masculine kind of cards.
the paper is PTI Pattern Paper Pack

Stephanie from MY INK WELL is helping us host this challenge as our Special Party Guest!
Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration the last two months!
See you in the gallery!
 
Heart Hugs, friends!

I love, LOVE this card Colleen! Red and white AND black are a perfect color combination and also great for those masculine cards! I think I need to check this candle set out too...can you believe out of ALL the stamps I own, I don't have a candle set that's big enough to be a focal point on a card...just some tiny candles that are part of other sets! Gosh I hate to go shopping, but if I must... Hugs. :0)

Col, what a sweet card with the red, white and black. Very cute and definitely, masculine worthy.

Cute candles and love the heart wicks! Thinking of you as you recover from surgery, please follow the doctor's orders despite how stir-crazy you may get. Sound like the perfect time to binge-watch some TV series and or movies.

Great card for anyone Colleen. Love how you added the black dotted paper with the pretty red candles. You have inspired me and I need to get this set out and play with it. Hope you are having a good weekend.
Hugs, JoAnn
