MCT Designer Challenge










 
 
There is a fun challenge at My Creative Time and I had a good time playing along.  I decided to go with using the sketch.  It is Advent and the sketch reminded me of candles.  I stamped the Grainy Wood Background with Ranger Watermark Resist, onto Paper Trey Ink Chocolate Paper, that had been die cut using Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More.  I cut 4 of the Stitched Decorative Banners and colored them purple and pink using Distress Inks.  Next, using the largest heart, I double cut the Stitched Heart Layering Dies, on yellow paper to make a flame shape.  I inked them up with Distress Ink to give some color and dimension.  I stamped the boughs from Boughs of Holly onto green paper to make the candles appear to be on an Advent Wreath.  The banner was made using a stamp from A Day in December set.  It is stamped using brown ink and cut to leave a white frame around the stamped shape.  I added some Diamond Stickles to the boughs for a little sparkle.  Here is a picture of what I came up with.
