Spotlight stamping

I came across a neat challenge to use up some stash on the Crafty Steals blog. The required elements were washi tape, a journaling card and a punch. I have lots of journaling cards, and I don't use them anymore because I haven't done scrapbooking in ages and I never seem to use washi tape. So I found a journaling card by Fancy Pants suitable for a birthday card and I made some candles by covering cardboard with washi tape. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to put it all together until I remembered a post by Jennifer McGuire using spotlight stamping. I used an EK Success punch to make the flames for my candles. The punch actually is to make leaves, but I thought the shape was great.

I also used a punch to make holes for the twine. The " Happy Birthday to You" stamps are from a JustRite set and the "make a wish" was already on the journaling card.
Here is a picture showing the punch and tapes.

This was a real change for me, but it was fun to use some different products.
The Crafty Steals challenge was called Third Thursday Stash Challenge, and I am going to make a note of it because it is a fun idea and I look forward to trying it again!
