Hello! Seize The Birthday Challenge #254 starts today. It is all birthday all the time, with an optional twist. This time, the twist is candles.
I am so happy to be back as Surprise Party Guest for another great challenge!
For this one, I chose to make a mini slimline card featuring the Spellbinders Birthday Candle Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Glimmer Rainbow Confetti Hot Foil. I LOVE the way it came out, but I do not love how difficult it is to photograph this awesome effect and get it right. No matter what I did with the card standing up, I could not get the color to come through. So I took some pictures of the card as I turned it in the light, and you can at least see the colorful foiled effect in the closeup photos. It really looks fabulous IRL.
Please head over to the Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us and have fun building up your birthday card stash!

There isn't a card big enough for the number of necessary candles for a certain someone - not saying it's me but it could be.
