I didn't think through my card so there were things I was going to do to it and forgot until it was all stuck together. It still turned out okay, just not what I was thinking.
I used printed paper instead of adding a sentiment. The candles, cut from a PTI die, are embossed with the Distressed Stripes embossing folder, but once I added the Glossy Accents, the embossing sort of disappeared. I was going for a waxy look and failed. :( I also added Glossy Accents and glitter to the flames.
Now that my work surface is a mess, maybe it will inspire me to get some more cards done. I know that doesn't sound logical, but I'm hoping what I have out will spark something for another card.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope your creativity soars this week.

Great interpretation of the sketch. I like your candles, and it was a super idea to use paper with a sentiment as part of the design.
Your candles totally look like wax when I click on them to enlarge them on my monitor, Bobby! And I love how you used the printed paper as your sediment ~ it conveys your message and it's an opportunity to use that patterned paper! I also like that you "hoped the mess would 'spark' more creativity" right after your were talking about the candle flames! Good one!! Hugs, Darnell
