16th Birthday 3d Candle Side Stepper Card

I was asked by a dear friend to make a card to give to her son for his upcoming 16th birthday.

The card base is created from one 5x7 card blank from Hobbycraft just one cut and 2 scorelines and you have the easiest side stepper card ever ! 

I folded my card blank in half as normal then I measured with folded edge at top approx 4 inches then I cut this down to approx 3 inches. I turned my card so 5inch side is along the top and scored at 1.1/2" and 3".

I cut the 16 from foamboard then cut from mirror card and glued together.

 I cut each candle twice and glued them to each other so both sides are the same and yes there are 16 candles on the card !

Thanks for looking !
