Shining Candles
Good Morning! Happy Blitz Thursday! Aren't all of the projects amazing? I can't wait to see more!
Today I am sharing with you the Shining Candles Die 98937. I just love how gorgeous and traditional it is. Definitely the perfect focal point for any project. Today I have embeded the die cut into my card and then filled in the candles with Glossy Accents. Everything else was colored with Copic Markers and the Gold bits got some stickles.
I hope you can see some of the details in this up close image. I was trying to get an angle that shows how the candles look like real wax.

In your picture you surely captured the look of melting wax, neat. Candles always make a pretty card and yours is lovely.

What an amazing wax effect on those candles. It looks as if it has melted & formed little pools around the wick. Great Christmas card

These candles are an AMAZING die! They look like they would be good Easter candles too, or even Halloween or a romantic St. Valentine's card too. I've got to add them to my list! Lovely card!
