It's funny when I see a sketch and parts of the sketch start screaming at me, but I am not kidding. It happens! Those four rectangles in the back were just screaming to be made into candles!
I wanted the candles to have some texture so I first used the diagonal plate for the Simply Scored score board and scored rectangle pieces of cardstock diagonally. Then I put glue along one long edge and rolled them around a pen to give them their shape. They are adhered to the card with glue dots. I wanted the "4" to pop and look like it was on a medallion. To get this I punched out a scallop circle, adhered it to a scrap piece of cardstock for a handle, put it back in the scallop circle punch, rotated it and punched again. I love this trick!
