Hi everyone. Here is my Design Team card for the latest challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More #43 - Addicted to Colors (or use the closest you have to these colors). I wish I could take credit for coming up with the idea for making these candles - they are so cute. I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was perfect for the color challenge. This week's sponsor is Prize: 2 sheets of digis (8 images) (please follow the rules of the challenge to be eligible to win) Whoopsi Daisy will be sponsoring the whole month of May 2013 Stamps: Make a Big Wish (studio g) Paper: Crumb Cake, Lined DP in Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie (SU!) Ink: Basic Black (SU!) Accessories & Tools: White hemp twine; piercing tool, mat and template; Stamp-a-ma-jig, glue, sticky strips, adhesives, and dimensionals I cut the lined DP on the diagonal; each piece is 2 1/4" x 3 1/2". I put a straight line of glue on one short end and a sticky strip on the other (leaving the cover on the strip). I placed the hemp twine in the glue and held for a couple of seconds until it was adhered. Then I rolled up the paper, making sure the top and bottom remained lined up, and then removed the cover of the sticky strip at the end and secured. I picked up this sentiment about a year ago from one of the $1.50 bins at Michael's ... it's just perfect for today's card ... I stamped the sentiment using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. I pierced a border around the edge of the card front and then used my Black Stampin' Write marker to add stitch lines. I adhered the candles using sticky strips, and then popped the card front up onto the card base for added dimension. For interest, I added a band of each striped DP on the inside, cutting the blue 3/4" wide, the pink 1/2" wide and the orange 1/4" wide. I layered them together and adhered them to the inside. Here's a close-up of the candles: I hope I have inspired you to join us for this fun challenge. Check out the other fabulous creations by the Design Team at ATS&M!
