The joy of entering challenges is that 'it does exactly what it says on the tin'... it challenges you to do something that you might not otherwise have tried. The case here is in the choice of colours from Tuesday Morning Sketches. They are dark brown, light orange and ivory, or should you speak fluent Stampin' Up, they would be translated as Chocolate Chip, Always Apricot and Very Vanilla.I actually didn't have any genuine Stampin Up card or paper, so what I have used is my approximation. I would never have thought of combining these shades, but they are just great!
My image and sentiment however, are the genuine article from Stampin' Up, and the image fits with the challenge from Charisma Cardz, which is to make a birthday card and include candles!
I have used my Stampin' Up eyelet border punch to make both the straight and the curved edging.

I think we all have colour schemes we feel most comfortable with but it is good sometimes to be taken out of our comfort zone and what you have made here is really lovely.

gorgeous creation, you've succeeded where I continue to fail in making the circle border from the edge punch. I have one I made a while back but never posted it!
