A card and a tag...

I am back with yet another card... weekdays are dedicated to my creativity and I don't want to miss a chance to create, if a good idea hits my mind :D So here I am with a card and a tag inspired by different challenges. The card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #39. I interpreted the sketch like this...


To make this card I hand drew and fuzzy cut my Christmas candle and stand and colored them with Sharpie Markers. The glittery ribbon was made with double sided transparent tape using Recollections Metallic red glitter. Further, I added Glossy Accents (from Ranger) to add texture to my candle. The glow of the candle was created by masking and inking ( Memento inks) Finally, all the elements were stuck and banner added. Since I have made a mark by hand drawing and using markers, I will also play it for Addicted to Stamps & more #57 - MAKE UR MARK.

Now to my tag, I was inspired by the colors of Zac Posen's dress at Runway Inspired challenge #41 and since I wanted to play at Moxie Fab World's - Holiday Cards and more week - The holiday Gift Tag challenge, I decided to create a Tag.  Also, liking it up to CAS on Sunday - Tag it! challenge on the talented and lovely Barb's recommendation :) Thank you so much Barb :)


To make it I used a water color paper (from Canson) and colored it with acrylic paint by mixing black and red colors (from Studio) to match the dress. I then stamped the flourish ( Mini Flourish from Inkadinkadoo) using white ink (Color box),  I added some white paint on flourish using sharpie paint marker. I added recollections glitter at one end. Finally embellished by tag with vellum flowers, pearls, ribbon and sequin butterfly (from Darice- Local craft company)

    Deepti, your hand drawn candle card is very reminiscent of a vintage postcard from the 30s or 40s. Amazing details (including the sequin berries) make for an amazing card! Such a richly textured tag, too.
