Festive Friday #29

Once in a while I have an immediate idea of what to make for a challenge and it comes out right the first time. This is one of those cards.


I made it for Festive Friday from their inspiration photo.


My Spellbinder oval die cuts AND embosses so it kind of looks like a mirror frame.  I used a PTI candle die that I embossed with UTEE.  That stuff is amazing and makes the candles actually look waxy.  The twigs are parts of a CASual Fridays die and the greens are a Martha Stewart punch.

I'm glad you stopped by.  I love reading your comments and would appreciate it if you leave one.

Beautiful card--it really captures the essence of the inspiration piece. And, yes, I did get my PTI gc, so I will be adding a little something to my next order. But to decide what....
