Birthday card featuring blingy candles, ribbon and decorative paper


 I made this card for my Dad who will be 91 in a few days!!!!!!!  He had a fall last week from which he is recovering.  Nothing broken though there were a few stitches.  
I started with a #6 envelope and created a card to fit inside.  I have devised a way of getting two cards of this size from a letter sized sheet of cardstock.  I will include the details in an upcoming post.  I stamped the greeting and the candles (SU) in black on my decorative paper and then added a green ribbon in between securing the ends to the back using double sided tape.  I tied a short piece onto to it using one knot to simulate a bow.  I coloured the candles with gel pens and added clear glitter to the flames.  There will be no large celebration due to the restrictions but we will talk to him and let him know we are thinking of him on his special day.
