Holly's challenge....theme lighting the way. As a child these lights were always on my Grandma's tree, and they fascinated me. Stamped the image with the inks, spritzed and added lines later. Tried to get the bubbling effect of the light, but couldn't. Added the gold lines and sentiment with a calligraphy ink, and nib. TFL

Oh my, this just took me back to my childhood! These bubble lights were on the tree of my grandma and grandpa, as well. As children, we were fascinated by them and this is a wonderful image. Beautiful, old fashioned feel to your card, so perfectly colored, as always. Into my favorites!

I luv this! You did such a great job and I can see the bubbles - knew just what it was the minute I saw it. We had these bubble lights on our tree when I was little. I had forgotten all about them - this is such a wonderful nostalgic reminder.
