A few details:
This month our sponsor is Penny Wise Arts. I poured onto a sticky sheet their clear Ultra Fine Micro Beads. So what you're seeing is an entire white glittery background of micro beads which I brayered into the sticky sheet.
The candelabra is Dusty Attic chipboard. I used Ranger Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and clear embossing powder to heat emboss the candlestick. The candles are actual wax. I lit a birthday candle and as the wax melted, I dripped it onto the candle portion of the chipboard. The flames are Ranger Distress Ink in Mustard Seed covered with Scattered Straw Stickles.
The blue snowflake paper is from the Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium paper collection. The word label is from Paper Whimsy. I believe the background card stock is Bazzill.
G-45 paper and the Dusty Attic candelabra chipboard are from the Flying Unicorn on--line store.
