The halo of light around the candle flame is actually coloured onto the background cardstock, and the image itself has been coloured and fussy cut, then layered over the top. I also applied a little Wink of Stella to the light for an added sparkle. The sentiment, from the Three Kings clear stamp set, has been heat embossed in gold to coordinate with the border.

Love the blending on your leaves against the black background - they just glow, almost as much as the candle light.

ReplyDeleteLOVE the candle glow against the black background and as a self-confessed Wink of Stella addict, I can "see" the sparkle!
... I had to look twice, I didn't realise the image was fussy cut, it sure makes for a lovely card Beccy!
Thank You for sharing this technique :)
The black and gold together give me such a thrill! I love that combination. The greenery just jumps off the card. The sparkle and shine really make the candle glow. Just gorgeous!
