Lighting the candles

Hello lovely people,

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and it's one I made for my nephew...I didn't put an age on the card but can you guess how old he is?!

I was feeling very guilty that I have had the MFT magical dragons in my craft room for at least a couple of months and hadn't used them so I decided to team one of the dragons up with some birthday candles for a fun design.

I used the matching dies to cut out the gorgeously cute dragon so I could have him flying in and lighting up the candles.  I was going to add a little flame but there wasn't really space.

I have a matching stamp set for the candles but decided on this occasion to just cut the candles from DP, and I've added them to the panel with foam pads before wrapping the twine around.

I couldn't resist popping those fab stitched alphabet dies in my basket last week and along with the banner alphabet dies from my previous card, I think they will be very useful; it is lovely to personalise cards and I should do it more often.
