This is a quick birthday card made for the son of a friend using the Picture Perfect stamp set which will be retiring from the catalogue from June 4^th. This is a great stamp set for new stampers with lots of lovely sentiments and simple 2 stamping images.

To recreate the Picture Perfect card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Gingham Gala dsp 5⅞” by 3½”
Blueberry Bushel 2⅝” by 2⅜”
Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel strips 4” by ⅜”
Scrap Whisper White

I adhered the Gingham Gala designer series paper (dsp) to the front of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the candles. I find it easier to line up the stamps if I start with the patterned stamp. I stamped the striped candle in Granny Apple Green ink. The spotted candle was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and the second striped candle in Calypso Coral ink. I then added the solid background layer to the candles in 2^nd generation Lemon Lime Twist ink, 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink and 2^nd generation Grapefruit Grove ink. The flames were stamped in Mango Melody ink.

I stamped the sentiment below the candles in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Using one of the Rectangle Stitched dies and my Big Shot I cut out the stamped image. The rectangle was actually too long so I moved the die to shorten the rectangle and ran it back through the Big Shot. I the cut the Blueberry Bushel panel ⅛” bigger on all sides using my Trimmer. These were adhered together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I glued the Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel strips to the card front and added the candle piece overtop on Dimensionals. The card was finished by adding a trio of Gingham Gala Sequins.

I stamped the candle inside the card and on the front of the envelope.

Such a simple card but so effective. I do hope you like it.
