Stained Glass Candle

Happy Monday - I hope you enjoyed a great weekend! I managed to make a card for Let's Squash It! where Challenge 23 requires us to have something dry embossed and also to use a shaped card. Some of those shaped cards are finding their way to the August Die Cut Divas Challenge where we're doing shaped cards this month too - yay!! I made mine a Christmas card with non-Nativity elements so it would work at Christmas Kickstart 65 too!

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio Navy A2 card;

Neenah White

Embossing folder - Taylored Expressions Brick

Stamps - Taylored Expressions O Holy Night (retired)

Dies - Taylored Expressions Label Stacklets 5 (retired)

Other - Copic Markers; Hero Arts clear Lacquer; Stickles

I stamped and colored the TE stained glass candle image then fussy cut it. I die cut a thin navy background for it using a scrap of A2 card & one of the stacklet dies. I used a Navy card to cut the label shape, placing the left edge just outside the fold. I added some gloss to the berries and stickles to the candle flame. I die cut a white label layer and dry embossed it with a brick ef. I was inspired in my layering by the beautiful citrus card Joanne (Ambrosia & Iron) made for the LSI challenge. I left off a front sentiment since I didn't want to cover up the window.

Too bad the gorgeous stained glass window image & matching die stack are already retired at TE!! I'm just getting around to using them - oh well.... Darnell's August NBUS Challenge will see this card too, since I'm using the stained glass image & dies for the first time.

Thanks for stopping and happy crafting!
