Candles and pinecones

Inkspirational Challenge #302 – Moodboard

The moodboard at Inkspirational has a chalkboard along with candles and pinecones and that particular part of the board inspired this card. The foliage/pinecone stamp was already in my stamping platform and is from an old set for which I have no information. I stamped onto some beige/brown CS using 2 inks, then when dry, I fussy cut them. The black piece is cut using dies from Gina K which includes the candles. I left them white but added colour, using pencils, to the wick and the flames. After fooling around with placement I added the main parts as you see and then took a Martha Stewart punch and added the copper and silver branches as well as the small sprigs at the very bottom. These came from StampinUp. Sentiment was heat embossed in gold and is from YNS and gems are from my stash. There is some gold sparkle here and there but it doesn’t show in the photo. The card front is something I inked the other day and wasn’t happy with, so the black layer helped me to use it. It is a small square card and is kind of cute in real life.

Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.

  5. Thanks Gayle. Before dies and electronic cutting software and machines fussy cutting was the only way to go. I guess I got good at it then, but these days I pick more carefully what I shall cut as my hands don’t always allow me to do it.
