IC1029 Candle Wishes
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: suen

 I found inspiration in a candle and pinecone arrangement. The woodgrain BG was made following Karen Dunbrook's tutorial from a few years ago. The candles were cut from white, the flames colored with wild honey and the pine cones cut from kraft and cocoa bean. The pine sprigs were cut from some watercolor papers made with various spray stains. Everything was arranged on the woodgrain panel and I hot foiled the sentiment using satin gold foil on pure poppy. Here's my inspiration.

This is such a beautifully layered and thoughtfully composed card, Sue. The woodgrain background adds a cozy, rustic charm that perfectly complements the candle and pinecone arrangement. I love how the watercolor-sprayed pine sprigs bring a natural softness and depth to the scene. The hot foiled sentiment in satin gold is a stunning finishing touch—elegant and festive without overpowering the delicate details. Your interpretation of the inspiration piece feels warm, inviting, and full of holiday spirit.
