Celebrate Whatever Age You Claim to Be

Hi Crafty Friends,
I love Brass & Bliss Birthday Collection. They have so many fun sentiments and for the young, the old and everything in between! I made a monochrome purple birthday candle card with a funny snarky sentiment featuring Brass & Bliss Birthday Candles 6x6 Stencil 4406 and  Celebrate with Shadow Die 5801-02D.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you prefer funny birthday cards or sentimental?
A: Me? Funny and Snarky

Step #1: I started my card by stenciling the candles with Brass & Bliss Detail blending brushes and Color Fuse Ink Cubes #6. I splattered my background with the Brass & Bliss Magenta Color Fuse ink.

Step #2: I die cut my Birthday Candle stenciled background with Brass & Bliss Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set 5013D. Then, I die cut the Celebrate with Shadow Die out of matching purple cardstock and white for the text.

Step #3: I stamped the fun sentiment from the Brass & Bliss I Thought You Knew Stamp Set 36062 onto Brass & Bliss Off-Set Tags Dies 5605-03D.

Step #4: I finished my card by adding my sentiment die to the upper third of the card and the sentiment offset to the right below the Celebrate.
