Christmas Candle

This was the first 8X8 card I made and it's for my daughter and her husband.  The base is by Craftwork Cards, the card and paper are from my stash and needed used up before I buy anymore, ha-ha.


The die-cuts I've used are Go Kreate XXL Square Frames Frilly #10 and Spellbinder Lattice Rectangles.  The Stamp is Penny Black and is called Xmas Light, I used Versa Mark and silver embossing powder to heat emboss the image, something I've not done for a few years.  I love this stamp and it's so easy to use it had to be brought out of retirement.  I've popped on some sticky jewels just to round off the design.  I especially love the colour combo of this card and I adore the Go Kreate XXL dies, they're brilliant, this one makes the card look very classy.

I'm putting this card in for a couple of challenges.
Christmas Card Challenges #24 Old/neglected stamp
Winter Wonderland Challenge - Embossing
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge 73 - a touch of blues
Craftymess Challenge - Christmas card with nontraditional colours

I hope you have a good rest of the weekend where ever you are.  Hugz, Janice
