Christmas Candles

Good Morning everyone.

Today im sharing my next batch of Christmas cards, using this fab stamp from woodware, ive teamed it up with a paper pad and kraft card.

Approx size 5x7"   I first stamped my image onto kraft card and cut out with the arch die, i then stamped again onto patterned papers, cut out the candles and holly leaves and paper pieced on the base image.  I coloured the candle flames with wink of stella pens so them shimmer in the light.  I went around the outside of the image with watered down white gesso to help the image stand out, i then splatted on the watered down gesso to add a snowy effect.

I die cut a cardbase from kraft card with the largest arch die and a piece of patterned paper with a smaller one. I also added a strip of paper across the card.  I die cut a fishtail banner and stamped my sentiment, this is attached to my topper with an eyelet for a bit of fun interest.  I then mounted the topper with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

Just a close up

This shows how i did my background, to make my paper pad go further i cut the middle out of my paper arch with a smaller die, and the strip across the middle was made from smaller off cuts - it all gets hidden so no one knows any different.
