Good Morning All
Not quite so bright this morning .. .. .. but I still managed a quick photograph.
Cards don't get much simpler than this - and yet I am really pleased and really excited about this one. Why?!?!?!?? .. .. .. ..Well a few reasons really.
I don't know about you but I have a mountain of little scraps of paper that I just don't have the heart to throw away because "I am sure they will come in useful one day"!!!
Well this card used up a teeny tiny little bit of that scrap paper so I now envisage this card in a few different colour combinations and my paper pile can reduce slightly.
Also this card is suitable for men, women, boys and girls .. .. .. .. a card for all and it is really quick to make if you are in a hurry!!! Yippee!! If I make about 70 cards like this that will be my birthday cards made for the rest of the year. LOL!!! (Well I don't see that happening).

Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Diamond Stickles
3D Foam Strip
Ribbon and Gems from the stash box
Another reason I love it is that there wasn't lots of fiddly cutting out to do either. All simply cut and the candles were mounted on the card with 3D foam to give a bit of depth. I drew the wick on the candles myself as there wasn't one on the stamp and it looked strange to me to have flames in the air without one!!
I am a bit worried that the flame on the left is a bit close to the ribbon .. .. but hopefully my card won't be a pile of ashes when I get home tonight LOL!!!
Have a good day, whatever you are doing and take care. Thanks for calling by.
Love Jules xx

fab card, Jules! I love it!
Hi Jules what a beautiful and simple card, love it. With love and hugs Shirleyxx
What a super card Jules, a great use of all your 'saved up' bits.
I'm very good at saving up 'bits', I put them all in a little plastic folder, then at some point in the future, have a clear out.... and end up throwing them out!!!
What a fab card, Jules. Great stamps and so useful!!! Laughed out loud on your comment about the flame being near the ribbon!!
What a wonderful card and such a simple idea - we all have boxes full of scraps that will 'come in useful' and this is a great way to use them up!
