For this week my challenge is whatever lights your candle. Now, you can either take this literally and include a candle on your card or perhaps another form of light - a star, a lantern, a lamp post ... or you can take the phrase to mean 'whatever you like', which should give you plenty of freedom! The main thing is to get on and make those Christmas cards.
I've made a set of five cards which is good for Clare's challenge for the Christmas card gang (you can see the list on my sidebar). Clare has asked us to create a set of Christmas cards with a minimum of 4 (I apologise that I'm early with my cards, but perhaps it's better to be early than late). I've made 5 because I sell packs of 5 for charity and have one more craft fair coming up soon.
I've used a Papermania candles stamp for my five cards, stamping with versamark and heat embossing with black detail powder, colouring with copics, mounting on to gold 7 x 5 card blanks and adding a gold greeting.
