Introducing....
Light up the joy and wonder this holiday season with this beautiful set called Christmas Candles penned by Marcella Hawley. Stamp up a candlescape, a set of votive candles or a beautifully decked out hurricane lamp. This 4 by 6" clear set comes with three wonderfully scripted sentiments to share the spirit of the season!
On to my creation!
Because this set is just, in my opinion, full of beautiful imagery, I wanted my main image to sing without a lot of extras. So, I chose a simple layout with Spellbinders Labels Fourteen (cut thanks to my Grand Calibur). I stamped my votive image on Classic White using Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored it up with Copic Markers. I used the Poppy, Fields, Sunflower and Flesh tones 1 collections grouped by Flourishes. I also shaded with a few of the lighter shades in the Cool Neutrals collection as well. I also added some paper piercing and a bit of stitching with some gold thread to give it all a little glimmer.
Here's a close up!
I added some decorative paper, a sewn gold edge and a sentiment from the set on the inside.
Now, the fun part is, all of the papers, embellishments and ribbons are a part of a brand new 1,2,3, Create Kit called Sunshine. You can check out all that's offered in this fun kit below and can click HERE to see it in the Flourishes store!Would you like to win Flourishes new Christmas Candles set?
