Christmas Candles

Good morning to all my lovely friends and  followers today as its that Wednesday again sees the launch at Crafting by Designs of our latest challenge Get Ready for Christmas.This is always one of our most popular challenges and we have this theme once every month I've worked out is you have played along every month you should now have six Christmas cards made!!.

We have two sponsors for this challenge

Flat Friends   
Prize: $10 voucher to the store


Prize: 3 single images, up to $10 value

I decided on an image from Stitchy Bear called Christmas Candles. Its a traditional design so I've used the traditional Christmas colours on this design that I love.



Card Recipe

7x7 blank card
Image Stitchy Bear Christmas Candles painted with Derwent Inktense Pencils The pearl dots around the image are a gold Viva pearl pen
Spellbinder circle and scalloped circle dies
