AAA Cards ~ Challenge #292

There is a new challenge starting now at AAA Cards. For the next two weeks, we have a sketch challenge for you.

When I saw the sketch, I knew what I wanted to do. Here's my card.

I used Pretty Pink Posh's Layered Candles stencils (of which there are three layers). I "masked" off the individual candles with scraps of paper. I used distress inks applied with oval ink blending brushes, in rainbow order, wilted violet, blueprint sketch, mermaid lagoon, mowed lawn, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade, carved pumpkin, candied apple for the candles. For the first layer, I used a light hand and applied minimal ink. For the second more decorative layer, I applied more ink using the same distress inks for a tone-on-tone look. For the tops of the candles, the third layer, I used mustard seed distress ink, again applied with an oval ink blending brush. For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted's Many Mini Messages. When I started, I wasn't completely certain where I was going so I ink blended on a white A2 card panel. In retrospect, I could have started with a white A2 card base and created a one-layer card. What I did to complete my card, is adhere the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see how you are inspired by our sketch. Add your creations to our gallery for us and others to see.
