Lemon Lime Birthday


I wanted to play at Color Hues with this lovely color combination. I really need to build my stash of birthday cards, so I decided to make a card that would be good for anyone (though it is great for a masculine card), especially in the spring.

I love the blend of greens you've used for those sweet birthday candles, Stephanie! It has been TOO long since I've seen those MFT lines - always a favorite of mine that I've even used for 'rain showers!'
You always find so many fun challenges, my friend! WWCD!

Those candles are so much fun and I love how you separated the panel with the black border and stamped lines. The scripty font was icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls, Stephanie.

Love the variation of colors on your candle background, Steph! You tied in the other piece of cardstock perfectly with the sentiment. This is a wonderful card that you could duplicate in many colors. Always happy to see you in our gallery at Color Hues. Take care.
