Happy World Card Making day!!

Hi everyone! Happy World Card Making Day!!!

It's like an extra birthday for cardmakers! How cool is that?! 

Just typing this on my phone having a lie in lol but want to show out to you guys and share a card I made this week.

If seen loads of candle wreath cards on various social media sites and was dying to have a go myself. So looked through my stash and copious amount of stamps and found the perfect candle stamp for the job!

It's a small candle from the Celebrations stamp set by Craftwork Cards. I think they're still available on the website too.

I picked my colour scheme and selected pink, coral, black and grey ink pads and set about stamping my wreath. First I drew round a circle die cut on the card front to use as a guide.

I started with the pink and stamped at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock to try and get them as evenly spaced as possible. Then took the next colours and stamped next to the pink candle. I repeated this with all the colour ink pads and then used the same colours in the same order once again.

I stamped a simple happy birthday sentiment on a circle die cut and layered this on the front.

I also offset the wreath slightly. If you're not going to get it perfectly central on the card front it will be noticeable so I played on this and purposefully pushed it off centre for a different look.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like it and hope you get a chance to do some crafting today too!!
