See what the team made HERE 

 I'd planned to make some kind of decoration for this challenge rather than a card, but that didn't work out very well so at the last minute I needed to come up with somehting else!  I have a lot of Christmas greenery bits and bobs already cut out, so using that along with a candle seemed the solution.

The candle is part of a group of three candles on a very old Memory Box die.  I like it but hardly ever use it bcasue its really fiddly - its one of those which is just one die so you have to fit the candle into the outline 'melted wax' parts. It would have been so much better to make it in two pieces, with the outline section cutting separately so it could then be adhered on top of the candle base. 

In case you didn't realise it, this is one of my biggest die bugbears!

I really should look for a better candle die set! 

Anyway, the inner parts of the candle were cut in a glossy red card, the outer, edges and dripping wax from red glittler card. I hand cut the flame pieces because I just couldn't be bothered to run that die through again for those tiny pieces!

 

All of the 'greenery' pieces are cut with dies from this years Spellbinders Christmas sets - I love dies like this, they don't just come out at Christmas because I make a lot of cards with flowers on and usualy use some leafy die cuts with them.  I keep any extras I cut in a box so I can use them when I'm in a hurry!

 

The sentiment was made using one of the Christmas Die & Glimmer Sentiments Hot Foil Plate & Die Set
