Christmas Lights

Hi again. I just bought this stamp and I've been looking so much forward to using it on my Christmas cards. Whiff of Joy stamps are always beautiful, but this instantly became a favorite of mine:



I wanted to combine the Whiff of Joy stamp with a stamp from North Star Stamps that I bought to go with it. Obviously you internationals don't understand the meaning, but it's the lyrics to a Norwegian Christmas carol which in a loose translation would go like "And we light our candles as it darkens, and as all sounds are wrapped in wadding, yes we light our candles as it darkens, perhaps they'll shine until the evening says good night."



For this card I've used these supplies:

Paper: The card base is bazill bling. I've used the following patterned papers: Graphic 45 "Christmas Past collection - Let it Snow" and K & Company "Handmade Scripty".




Stamps: Whiff of Joy Willow with Christmascandle stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx Black" and colored with promarkers and Northstar Stamps Og vi tenner våre lykter  stamped with Tsukineko Memento "Rich Cocoa" are shown on the front. On the inside I've stamped "Rund God Jul liten", "Den beste tiden er juletiden" og "God Jul (gammel)" from Kreativ Hobby, and I've used Large Poinsetta Candle from Heartfelt Creation. I've heat embossed all the images on the inside using Ranger Embossing Ink pad and Ranger Super fine details gold embossing powder.

Dies: Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles.

embellishments: Store Gardeniablomster from Papirloftet in the color Coco.


 I'm entering the card to these challenges:
My Time to Craft Challenge: L is for (in my case light).
Freshly Brewed challenges: Use something new (All the stamps except the poinsetta candle are new).
Simon Says Stamps: Use dies and/or punches
The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop: Monochromatic card
Party Time Tuesdays: Sketch or monochromatic (I chose the latter)
Creatalicious Challenges: Anything goes
City Crafter: Let's face the music (I hope that lyrics suffice)
Wee Memories: Use patterned paper.



Thanks for stopping by!
