Birthday card featuring a watercoloured fabric background, stitched pieces of cake and candle along with some sequins

Another card featuring some watercoloured (Inktense) fabric for the background, little rectangles stitched on to create a cake and two hand cut pieces to create the candle and flame.  Totally fun to make!!!!  I used Inktense watercolours to colour wash my ivory background fabric.  Once heated the watercolour because permanent.  I dug up a few fun fabric scraps and trimmed out five little rectangles to create the cake.  Found some small coordinating scraps and trimmed them into a candle and a flame.  A birthday cake it born!!  I know the recipient will love it!!!!  I layered it with a piece of flannel and then a backer piece and stitched it onto the front of my card.  It can be removed used as a little mat or framed as art.  I did add some small iridescent pink and gold sequins to make it more interesting.  It is off in tomorrow's mail!!!  Therese
