Candle Light

Hello, it's Bridget here - I love the warm, cozy glow that a candle brings, especially on the darker fall and winter evenings! This candle is from the set Christmas Light which was designed by Dina Kowal, and it was Dina herself who suggested to me the idea of covering the holly and berries with flowers so that it could be used any time of the year. I thought it was a great idea and ended up actually cutting the holly away and adding a sheer bow and rose.  However, if you chose not to cut the candle out and left just the tips of the holly leaves showing, they would look like any other type of leaf!  If you like being able to pop the candle up with dimensionals, the best part is that you don't have to fussy cut the candle like I have, because Sweet and Sassy have a Christmas Light Candle Die to make it easy on you!  I also used the background stamp Light of Christmas, covering only a part of the stamp with ink to give an uneven edge to the script. 

I inked only the last four lines of the sentiment and left out the line which says "This Christmas".

I distressed all the edges, colored the candle with copics, and added Stickles to the candle flame for a bit of sparkle. 

I hope you've enjoyed this variation on using these wonderful Christmas sets!
