I was lucky enough to have won a challenge over at Simon Says Stamp earlier this month, and I spent my prize certificate on some new Christmas dies (as if I didn't already have 200 Christmas dies!) I used one of them on this card, the Christmas Candles from Paper Rose Dies.
I cut a white square first, then used the die to cut both red and green CS scraps. I cut away the candles and then the green branch, and glued those to the already cut, white square. I used a gold paint pen on the candle flames. I also added a red CS mat behind the candles.
The sentiment is from QKR Stampede, printed and fussy cut, then the edges were inked with a Copic marker. I found a scrap of gold, sparkly ribbon and hand-tied the bow.
This card is #36 in my stash of Christmas cards, all made just this month. I'd say that's a pretty good start on cards for this holiday season. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
