I had this idea in my head when I went to bed one night so the next day I set to work trying to get my idea down the way I saw it in my head. I had just bought this great candle punch (EK Success) and thought it would work great with the candles in this set. Of course I still had a few scraps left of my WeRMemoryKeepers (Sunny Flower Patch) designer paper and I just had to use it!
I stamped the candle 4 times on Whisper White card stock and then paper pieced the last candle and added some sparkle with Lemonade' Glitter (Art Institute). To finish off the card I also added some brads to mimic the dotted paper on the candle.
Card Details: Card Stock: Tangerine Tango, Bermuda Bay, DP WeRMemoryKeepers
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Yellow Copic Marker
Other: Candle Punch-EK Success, Brads-Pink HedgeHog Crafts, Glitter from the Art Institute, Quickie Glue Pen, Paper Piercing Tool, Foam Mounting Tape,
I also have another card to share today using this set and totally different colors/papers. This one is based on a card I saw here: I liked the clean, simple look of the card but did add an extra layer of paper to my card.
I love how soft this one looks with the Pastel Color scheme.
