CANDLES AND FLOWERS

The challenge for Merry Monday #156 this week is candles and flowers.  Plenty of flowers in my stamping stuff, but nary a candle.  So I cut a strip of patterned paper, cut out a flame and embossed it in gold, added the gold embossed poinsettias and some pine branches - done.  I was afraid to stamp the sentiment before not being sure where to put it exactly and then afterwards I was afraid I'd mess the whole thing up - so added it on a matching strip. 


Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments.  Betty

    I would have been afraid to stamp a sentiment too, Betty! This candle and poinsettia are so gorgeous, it would have been a shame to goof! The banner works perfectly! A gorgeous card! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday!

    Beautiful card, Betty. How clever of you to create the candle in paper. I have so many stamps. Sometimes it amazes me what I don't have. Happy 4th!
