Christmas candles...

Hi ! Today I am sharing a Christmas card :) STAMPlorations has these New September release Christmas Stamp sets, they are amazing and so much fun to use :) I couldn't resist making yet another card :) So here it is...
I marked the lower edge of the card dividing it into 1cm parallel lines. Next I cut out a strip from black cardstock and adhered it over these marked lines. I added another horizontal strip of kraft card stock. On a blank card stock, I heat embossed these beautiful Christmas Candles in silver and fuzzy cut that out. On the upper half of the card I heat embossed some snowflakes in gold and also added some gold dots using a gel pen. Finally, I popped up the candles with foam dots and stamped the sentiment.
 

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)


NOTE : The STAMPlotrations is doing a pre-release sale of the September Christmas stamps (5 sets) until September 5. The bundle is $25 (29% off) and Stamp club subscribers get an additional 15% off

    I love how you used silver EP for the candles and gold EP for your snowflakes! This is such a beautiful design, too...the black and white stripes are such a modern touch and I love the whimsical font on the sentiment! Really pretty card, Deepti!

    Deepti, I really like the idea of not coloring that candle. Really makes it stand out beautifully. A lovely card for the upcoming holidays!
