The
weather outside is a changing by the hour. Someone posted this on Facebook and
it pretty much says it all.
A
friend of mine asked me to make a card for a pre-teen boy – something pretty
plain of course. I finally decided to make a huge candle card. Here is what I
came up with…and she loved it.
I
took a piece of left over cardstock and ran it through the Swiss dot embossing folder
and then trimmed it to the size I wanted and inked the edges with a darker
blue. Then I hand cut another piece of blue to look like wax dripping and glued
it on the top. I hand cut the candle flame from yellow and orange cardstock stacked together;
then switched the pieces over to make one flame. They were then sprinkled with yellow
glitter. The wick is just a little piece of black cardstock. The background was in the stash and it looked
great with the candle glued to it. It was then glued to the yellow card base.
The sentiment was stamped onto a hand cut banner and was attached with dimensional
glue strips. Glossy Accents was then added to the dripping wax piece and set
aside to dry. I always have to do that last or I end up smudging it.
That’s all for a cold and damp Friday,
February 16, 2018. Have a wonderful and safe weekend everyone. My heart aches
for those involved in that Florida
Cheers
