I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to use the strip as a candle. I'd actually gotten out some other stamps for something completely different and while I was looking for a sentiment, I noticed the "wish big" from Word Play and the candle idea popped in my head so that's what I went with. Believe it or not, the candle flame is made with the smallest heart in the Hearts Framelits; I just cut it in half and then added some shadows with a Daffodil Delight marker.
I got this color combo from Nacho #34:
I admit, my first thought when I saw the colors was SUPERMAN! I have a thing for superhero movies. But anyway, it seemed like those would be perfect colors for a birthday card, and I think this would work for just about anyone from 3-year-old kid to senior citizen. Unless it's someone who doesn't like red, like my MIL, I'd just make this with different colors for her ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
