Bowling at 80

I was asked by a friend at work if I could make a card and

 decorate a candle for his dads 80th Birthday

He is a bowler so thats the theme we went with

I used a digi image from just-ink-lined 

I coloured the image with my promarkers

The papers are all glittered papers that came from a DCWV All Dressed Up pad

The sentiment was done in word and then cut using my spellbinder dies in my ebosser

I used the bowler image along with a clipart Happy Birthday border to make an insert

For the candle I used the same image again

This time I printed into on to tissue paper

and then colour it with my promarkers

I then upcycled an old box to hold the candle

Using papers from my stash and some DCWV ribbon

Finally I made a matching envelope using the same paper I used to cover the box

I made the enveloper on my DCWV envelope board

I love this little board it is so easy to use

I finished the envelope of with a piece of white card

The corners where trimmed off using my fiskars corners scissors

and finally I used some gold ink to just distress the edges a little

This set is for the following challenges:
