My friend's grandson will soon be celebrating his 5th birthday so I put this little card together for him. I made a panel of colorful strips of PTI bitty box basics dsp that I've had for probably a decade or more and placed it on a black card base. I used many different die cut pieces to put this together and if you want to know any specifics, let me know in a comment and I'll get back to you with those. Those 5 tiny candles were done with a tiny birthday candle die and I added glaze pen accents to the flames. I added a pre-printed SSS sentiment, then added 5 gems to the number 5 just to bring more color onto the card. I don't often use black for a child's card, but I think this works with all the different colors.
I'll share this with:
the October 2023 Colorful Options Challenge - Neons
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

A very vibrant card for a youngster - black shows up the colours very well
What a very happy and colorful birthday card! I love that you've added the number for his age and he will be able to count those candles too! Always nice to pull from your paper stash as well! Wish you a wonderful weekend my friend!
Absolutely fabulous! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
Great birthday card Carol, the black makes a perfect background. xx
I love the use of your colorful strips panel. That would be a great way to use up scraps. Wonderful card for a little one turning 5.
This is adorable, Carol! I love how you personalized it with the number 5 and the little candles & rhinestones! I think too that the black cardstock works here and makes those pretty colors pop! Well done!! TFS and have a wonderful weekend! Hugs~
Love this! A fantastic black background with pops of color. Thank you for playing with us at the Colorful Options Challenge. Cheers, Makira
What a fun and festive card for a 5 year old Carol! I just got a tiny candle die in the mail as a freebie and thought, "how will I use this tiny thing?" LOL Thanks for an idea on how to use it! I love all the fun and happy colors in this one, especially love the gems on the number 5. I bet this little fella will love this card too. Hugs, Brenda
Oh I live it. Such fun.
Hi dear Carol! I don't know why, but kids usually love black and your card looks great with all these colours! The design is super as always! Love the strips panel and those cute tiny candles on it! And such fabulous catch eyes is that big circle with the five, lighting by the gems, and the matching "make a wish label"! Beautiful sentiment too, in two different colours!
Have a lovely weekend! Sending big hugs as always across the miles!
A beautiful card, such a pretty colourful one too xx
This is super cute, Carol, and perfect for a 5-year-old fellow! I love how you made those little candles, such a cute detail! This is a great design for a birthday card as you can put any number in the circle, love it! Wishing you a pleasant day, my friend!
Loving the bright and fun colors on this and I know that little boy will too! Cute idea with the strips of different colors. Great card!
