My neighbor's grandson is turning six next month so I made a colorful birthday cake card for him and made use of some leftover strips of designer paper to make the candles. I had a little piece of pastel pink cardstock and rounded the top 2 corners to make the cake. I added a border done with a Martha Stewart Goo punch, and covered it with diamond Stickles for some sparkly frosting. The candles were made with strips of leftover assorted designer papers and covered at the top with some more diamond stickles to look like melting wax. The flames were done with a SU! mini ornament punch and colored with glaze pens, then attached with snippets of black cardstock to look like wicks. I added a white doily behind the cake, then added 2 balloons done with a Martha Stewart punch - one with the little boy's first name initial, and the other with his age. The sentiment is from SNSS and was colored in with a blue glaze pen to match the cardstock.
I'm sharing this card with these two challenges:
Seize the Birthday Challenge #254 - Candles
the Allsorts challenge week #713 - for Boys or Men
Wishing you all a wonderful day, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Super fun birthday card, Carol!!! WOW, you did an amazing job creating this and I bet in real life it's very sparkly! Love the different papers used for the candle and how you created the cake & icing! The balloons finish this beautifully with a special touch of his age & initial.

What a fun personalized card for a sweet 6-year old. I love that sparkly icing dripping down the cake and the fun balloons. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday!
The flames look like fire and the different papers are so cute on the candles. I have that Martha punch and would never thought to use it for frosting. How clever that is and it looks delicious.
Love that cake! Thanks for joining us at Allsorts this week.
