Birthday Facebook Timeline Cover

I had too much fun wasting time

playing around with a digital scrapbook program

to create this facebook timeline cover!

I LOVE that the stamp images can be colored

using a feature in My Digital Studio.

I used three different colors on the flame

then a single color on each of the candles.

The white stripes are achieved by

layering a small white rectangle behind the candle

stamp image which has a transparent background.

If I did not layer the white behind there,

you would see the other candle behind them through

what should be the white stripe.

I mirrored some of the candle images, too,

to create more interest.

It was fun -

and the first time I've used that paint a stamp image feature !

Oh, I almost forgot:

this was also the first time I used the

crop a stamp image feature to chop up

and recreate the sentiment stamp !

It also required some touching up

with the paint feature to remove some parts.

A little bit of black scalloped dots ribbon to finish it off

and I think it is a cheery timeline cover for the day

(just don't count the candles , ha ha !)

Here is a handmade birthday card I received:
