This week at the Sweet Stamps Challenge we are making Vintage Christmas Cards.
This card was so hard to photograph! I colored the Poinsettias/leaves with Spica Glitter pens- Oh how glimmery- love the Spica pens!!!
I used Smoosh on the candle- still shimmery, but a different texture. I have to show you HOW I MASKED the outer white rim of the image.....
Stamp the image on a post-it and cut out the inside where I want to add distress ink:
Here are the Sweet Stamps products I used on my card:
