 | | I have to say, for such a beautiful stamp, I found it very difficult to make a card that "works" with it. I was bound and determined to use this set for our cards this year, and this is probably about the 15th design I tried with it, and it's the first one I didn't hate when I put it together.
The tree image is stamped in Basic Black, and I colored it in with a Garden Green marker. Well, make that 2 Garden Green markers, the first one died after about the 30th tree! Glad I planned ahead and got an extra. I colored the candle light and star with Summer Sun, and colored the flame and aura with More Mustard. Bulbs are colored in Real Red. I dabbed Crystal Effects onto the red bulbs and candle light to give it a little more dimension. Goldenrod Stickles were used for the garland. Those little Stickles bottles go a long way - I've made 40 of these cards so far and the bottle still has a good amount left in it. Sentiment is from the Holidays & Wishes set, in gold ep.

Difficulty (1-Easy 5-Advanced): 2-3, only because coloring the tree in with a marker is very time consuming. My arm aches!
