Christmas Card Challenge - Sept - Silver Candle

The prompt for the Christmas Card Challenge is Silver Candle.

I chose to use the Tim Holtz Alterations Candlelight Bigz Die.  I cut the larger of the candles from silver non shed glitter paper. I cut the wax drips from white pearl card stock.  I cut the flame from gold non shed glitter card stock. The flame accent is cut from the pearl white card stock.  I assembled this accent with Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.

I cut the boughs with Impression Obsession Pine Branch thin die from green and pearl white card stock.  The green was adhered to the red card then the candle was adhered over it. Then I added the pearl white and trimmed it to the card edge.

The greeting is grey printed onto a Stampin Up Modern  Label punch to which I added 3 silver rhinestones on the right hand side. It is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

Sympathy Cards

I made a few sympathy cards for ladies who lost their mother and grandmother this week.  They have been card club participants so I will be giving cards in their time of need.

I chose greens for this card. Olive card with a swirl pattern designer paper.  I added 2 Impression Obsession Pine Boughs in dark green and light green.

I added a large butterfly cut with the Sizzix Winged Beauties in an olive card stock.

I used my large greetings with a sympathy sentiment.  I added them to blue card bases and added coordinated butterfly punched with the Martha Stewart punch.

The funeral for a lady who has been part of our congregation for many years is today.
