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.
