A Christmas Candle

Well it is still very cold here in our complex the street and our driveways were all ice this morning.  But, by the time I was ready to go curling this morning some sand and salt had been put down, so it was melting.
Had a great game to-day even though we only had three on our team, we managed to win the game -  that meant we bought drinks for our opponents (Coffee).  A good morning!

This image is a freebie from Digi Stamps 4 Joy for their first Christmas Challenge.  I stamped the image twice, once on white cardstock and then on the beige DP.  I coloured the candle with Yasutomo metalic paint and then cut it out and glued it to the beige.  I cut out stars and coloured them with copics and attached them to the candle.  The base was coloured with copics.  The sentiment is a die cut.  The DP and cardstock are from my stash.



I if you stop by, I do hope you have time to leave a comment, they are very much appreciated.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
