I nearly gave myself a heart attack this week as I lost track of a very big file on my computer and it took me 2 days of searching to find it. I now have it saved in 2 places so it doesn't go off galavanting again!!
Here are my cards.
First card uses a stamp by a very old company Dimension Fourth Ltd. The paper is a scrap left over form another project and I stamped the candles using Versamark and Wow Silver Embossing powder. Backed onto a sheet of silver smooth glitter card and mounted onto a dark blue card base. The sentiment is a silver sticker form my stash.
Second card uses a brand new stamp and die by Crafters Companion called Cosy by Candlelight. I coloured with my Promarkers. and a gold gel pen.These were the very first marker pens I purchased and are still my go to choice to use. Gingham paper is by Trimcraft from my stash. Sentiment is part of the stamp set and I gold embossed.
Last card uses a stamp by Marianne Design. TC0878. Again I have gold embossed and I found the Noel already embossed in my stash. Mounted onto Gold Mirror card and then onto a russet card base. Simple but elegant.
Weather has certainly been changeable this past week. My tomatoes are getting nice and plump with all the rain. The bees have been very busy on my Lavender which has really taken off this year too. I'm planning on having the front garden/driveway changed in a few weeks time so have been busy lifting plants and stepping stones to new positions. Loads of bulbs need to be replanted so need the next few days to be fine and dry.
First though I need to go and see what my friends have made using Candles on their cards.
Keep Safe and Well
Hugs
Three very different but equally lovely candle cards.

Fabulous cards Mrs A using different candle images. If only I had been this organised this time :/ Life seems to have taken over this past few weeks and so instead of hunting through my stash for candle dies and stamps I plumped for a quick and easy pre-printed image. Still, I have another Christmas card for my pile and this was a great theme, thank you.

All beautiful cards love all the candles but the second one is my favourite.Good to hear you found your file I am lost if anything goes wrong or gets lost on mine-had to buy a new printer and taken me over a week to pluck up the courage to find out how to change the inks- pathetic lol

Your three cards are all very different but equally lovely, Valery Anne. Glad you found the missing file - good idea to save it in two places. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes, zucchini and all my garden is invaded by bugs, with which I struggle daily because I don't want to give poisons. Argh!!!But have a lot of peaches and I'm preparing a lot of marmalade.
ReplyDeleteYour candles cards are so pretty, especially love the second one with that beautiful big stamp, warm colours and that beautiful gingham pape. I use Promarkers too, and Graph'it markers. Love them, are easy to use.
