Today I have this week's Daring Cardmakers Challenge DT card. The challenge "Lots Of Candles" is hosted by Mirri and she wants to see candles on your cards, one or lots the choice is yours.
I found a candle stamp to use on my card, one received when working on the Oak House Studio design team but sadly not available to buy now. The candles were stamped in different patterns on different pieces of card and coloured with distress markers. I made up cards using the various stamped image combinations.
The first was a row of candles which I mounted onto papermilldirect teal card. This was mounted onto a top fold white linen DL card with 3D sticky pads and a sentiment stamped in teal blue ink. I stamped and coloured two candles inside the card too and added a greeting. To add a little birthday sparkle I added fine glitter to the white areas of candles.
I made a scrapling gift card using the scrap card from the A4 sheet used to make the card blank. The candles were stamped across and down the scrapling, coloured and glitter added. I will be using this as a gift card for the present to go with the card.
There was a cut out star on my desk which I thought would make a card for a young man whose birthday it is this month. The candles were stamped in the center of the star, coloured and a sentiment stamped below. I edged the star with distress ink ready to mount onto a stamped background.

Oh wow! You were really inspired this week Sylvia, what a gorgeous set of projects! I love them all, but the card with the long row of candles is my favourite - I was tempted to do something along those lines myself but I couldn't face making quite that many rolled paper 'candles' haha
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful projects, and such a useful stamp
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you still using Oak House Studio Stamps. I do still have some OHS stamps around but I can't see any of this one. If anyone is looking for images From Oak House Studio please feel free to ask me if I still have one x
