Seasonal Glow from Candlelit Collection by Nida Tanweer

Hello Everyone!

The snow is gently falling, the decorating has been done, and the soft glow from the candles in the window invite you to just sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful side of the holiday season! Flickering candlelight is always a cozy welcome addition to any Christmas festivities, and is a lovely way to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, allowing for a stillness that leads to reflections of the season! Steeped in traditions for centuries, illuminated candles have been associated with the yuletide season in various ways…from being placed in the window offering a warm welcome to travelers from afar, to representing the Star of Bethlehem guiding the Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus Christ, to setting the ambiance to a family Christmas dinner! Whether you enjoy the brilliance of candlelit lanterns, grand candelabras or a glowing votive, there is no denying the beautiful luminescence candles bring to the advent season!

The ready top fold card measures, 6.3" by 9". Cut panel of white cardstock measuring 6" by 8.7" and adhere it on card using 3D foam tape, choose second panel from paper collection measuring 5.7" by 8.3" adhere layer on first panel. Layer the panel using dries clear adhesive. Cut the other layer panel from white cardstock measuring 5" x 7.7" and a second panel from pattern paper measuring 4.9" by 7.6" and glued together. After gluing, use cut mat die (1.75" x 2.75") and run through diecutting machine and adhere this layer onto card using 3D foam tape.

For the Poinsettia Flowers, Stamp the images on white paper with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder and heat tool. Color it in the center in round motion with Archival ink Vermillion using dauber. Stamp the holly leaves with Leaf green ink and color it with distress twisted citron ink using dauber. Place the poinsettias and holly leaves face down in the 3D Christmas Poinsettia Shaping Mold, spritz with water and run through the diecutting machine to shape. Use the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to finish shaping. Sponge the poinsettias and holly with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle the glitter dust. I used copper glass beads as a center of my flowers using dries clear adhesive.

Stamp the lantern and candle image from Glow of Christmas Cling Stamp Set and Candlelit poinsettia stamp set with black Archival ink, color with zig clean clear brush pens (050, 021, 022, 041, 032, 091, 045), diecut with coordinating die and paste it as shown. Arrange the poinsettias and holly as shown. Cut sentiment from paper collection, add layer of white paper on back and adhere it with 3d tape. To finish off, add nuvo drops and glass beads on clear adhesive.
