I used Very Vanilla for my card and card base and layered it with some Soft Suede cardstock. The candles were inked with the soft suede and then I used the Berry Burst for some of them. The others were inked with an old SU colour Regal Rose as I don't have Blushing Bride but I think it's very similar. I then simply added the sentiment in Soft Suede.
To stop the card being too flat - I re-inked another of the Regal Rose candles and then cut them out and placed them individually on some dimensionals to give the card a bit of depth.
A touch of Wink of Stella on the flames to make them glitter and the card is finished.
I adore these colours together and will be trying out some more cards.
I'm also including this in the challenge for Addicted to Stamps which is asking for a CAS card.
