Happy Hanukkah Cards with CTMH Cupcake Sprinkles


I needed to make a couple of Hanukkah cards for some dear friends of mine and wanted to go with the festival of lights theme.  I used the candle stamp from Cupcake Sprinkles and turned it backwards and stamped with the backside or non-patterned side of the stamp to make a solid candle image.  I used the flame top as it was but added two layers of liquid glass to give it lots of shine and dimension.  It is a simple card but I think it does focus on the light aspect of the imagery.

Here is the card with the stamp set - you can see the striped candle towards the center of the set that I used the backside for stamping.

Materials Used:
Paper:  White Daisy CS, Moonstruck CS, Silver Metallic (unknown source - it was a gift)
Stamp sets:  Cupcake Sprinkles
Other:  Liquid Glass

Glad you liked it! It was a big hit with the ladies I gave it to - and according to them the symbolism is correct - 9 candles with one higher.
