What I do know, is this is a card I made for the Retro Sketches Challenge # 35:
Once I looked at the sketch and knowing I needed another birthday card - I figured I'd make candles! This came together pretty quickly. I cut 1/2" strips of My Mind's Eye papers and then staggered them on the card. I punched out the 'flame' and ran them through my Xyron machine and then covered the sticky side with glitter. Stamped out a Papertrey Ink sentiment, added some bakery twine and this card was in the books! (Soon to be in the mail too!!!!!!!)
Here's the sketch! You've got until Friday to play:
Hope you East-coaster's weathered the storm OK!
