Pro-Am Showdown #16 - Candle Birthday Card

Here's another one for my self-imposed challenge, Pro-Am Showdown , where I CASE a mass-produced card to make my own, amateur version.

Here is the card I'm casing:
the commercially produced card
I liked the line of candles and that some of them were cut out, with the pattern beneath. I also liked the glittery gold flames.

I cut the candles out of the pink cardstock, using a Silhouette . I backed them with some spotty paper and cut the numbers from the same paper. Then I cut the flames and number outline from gold glitter paper.

I'd like to enter:

    I always love both versions for your challenge, but you did improve the design by using a bigger glittered area! Love it!

    Super card, I wouldn't call your card an amateur version at all! I think it's really professional. xx

    I like the idea of your challenge. I look at things now and wonder 'Can I do that?' Spots and sparkle always go down well.

    Great idea for a challenge and I really like your take on it, it's bigger and bolder and suits the theme x
