I had gotten this "Merry Patterns" set for free. There must have been some promotion going on at the time, I don't remember. It's not a set I would have purchased. I have used the "Merry Christmas" words on several cards and I have used the words shown here on several cards, except I would mask off the "From our family to yours". I was going to mask it off on this card, but I forgot. When I saw a few cards made using the candles in this set, I suddenly was glad I had the set.
Today I thought I would give those candles a try. At first I thought the green and red were decorative papers and they were fussy cut and set in place. But I was wrong. It's actually two different images. I stamped one using Real Red and the other using Pear Pizzazz. Such fun and they look so pretty. I wished I would have played with this sooner, I would have had my Christmas cards done by now!!! So when I finish here, I'm off to work on our cards. Tis the season!!!
To make this card I used a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock for the base.
I used the largest stitched square die and cut a piece of Whisper White card stock. I stamped the candles and then added the colors. Even the candle wicks are a stamp!!! Though I thought I would fair better if I just colored them in using the Daffodil Delight marker.
I cut a Real Red layer 3/16 larger than the stitched square. Next I stamped the words from the "Snowflakes Sentiments" set. Then I set square layer in place using Dimensionals. It's a pretty easy card to make!!
Thank you ever SO much for stopping by today,
Wanda
