Today, we start another new challenge at FarmQuest, where 'country or farm' is a necessary part of our challenge. In addition to that, we give you a theme to follow. This fortnight, our theme is "Lights." Since Christmas is right around the corner, I decided to feature the kinds of lights we might associate with that holiday.
I had two favorite images and I simply could not choose between them, so I did two inspiration cards for this challenge. This first one is a classic candle lantern with holiday greenery, and I colored it with water color paints and a little dab of Stickles to make the candle light sparkle. I used white gel pen on the snow.
The image was cut with an Unbranded die, and the sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. I used red CS on the right side of the card front and a scrap from an old K & Co. stack on the left card front. The tiny gem on the sentiment piece is from Stampin' Up.
The image was cut with a Tonic Studios die, the sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die, and both were layered onto a piece of red CS. This card has to be mailed so I left it flat and CAS.
