Candle Glow

The tag topper I made for this card is made with a stamp that's been in my collection for many years - it's an unmounted one so there's no brand name but it may have been from Dimension Fourth where a lot of my early clear stamps were from. I stamped and embossed it, and then coloured it in with a mixture of Promarkers and Wink of Stella, with a gold gel pen for the candlestick.

To make the glowing background, I made a rough mark on the card to show where the tag would be, and then sponged yellow distress ink into the area that would be covered, dragging it outward with the sponge and then using a damp waterbrush to drag some "bursts" of the colour slightly further out. Then I added a few gentle brushstrokes of yellow Wink of Stella to give it a subtle gleam.


It's so hard to capture the look of Wink of Stella on a photo, so I played about with light and angles for a while and I think it shows on here, at least on the bow.


I'm playing along with

    This is perfect for our Glow challenge and I love the bright colours you've used, and also that the glow continues on the card behind the tag.
