I want to share a home decor project today.
I was inspired to get it done for Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday #137-
"create something to adorn your table".
Candle Luminaries (for battery-operated candles ONLY...)
NO FIRES, OK??? ;)
Each luminary is fashioned from an 8 1/2" X 11" white 110 lb cardstock,
LIGHTLY pressed randomly with
a Tim Holtz Distress spiced marmalade ink pad.
There is a strip of fall DP with a row of green DP cut from Papertrey Ink's eyelet lace border die.
I then scored the cardstock and DP using my box pleated scoring.
I inked up a flourish with Adirondac butterscotch acrylic paint...it gave a nice yellow shimmer.
I learned that from
Stamping with Acrylic Paint.
See the thick chipboard accents?
I'm used Erin's technique. Her video tutorial is on
Here are the luminaries IN ACTION. ;)
The verse is a focus, so I am entering it in
The colors are inspired by
I used distress inks, so I am also entering it in

How creative and beautiful Marlena!! Love the added bird and your use of the verse. Perfect take on the inspiration. Thanks for joining the ODBD Shining the Light challenge this week!
Nicely done! I was on one of the challenge blogs today and saw that your card was featured but, I can't remember which one! However, I wanted to say "Congrats".
You are such a happy crafter, Marlena. :) I 'hear' it in your words. These are beautiful luminaries, and safe ones, too. ;0) I'm glad you had a chance to play twice with us this week at The Cafe!
