I used the Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridge to cut out 6 squares, the background and all the matting. I had to choose a lot of papers that went well together.
First, I pick out the papers for the squares (and work around those colors). Then, I choose a background paper to put them on and also a paper for the matting. Then I choose the matting for the squares. In most cases all my matting is the same paper/color.
I added walnut distress ink to the edges of the squares to make them darker before adding the matting to them.
Then I cut out a Fleur-de-lis Pendant, by Spellbinder, and added a Just-rite stamp image on top of it. I colored the image with Copic markers. A tip on the candlesÂ….I wanted white candles. If I left the stamped image as is, it would look like I forgot to color them so I took my Black Zig pen and outlined the candles. That made them stick out and look
more “real”.
For dimension, I use foam sheets cut to the size I need. SO much cheaper than buying dimensional squares.
