Serendipity was on my side today!
I looked at the inspiration photos for the current ODBD challenge, and while it may sound an odd thing, I homed in on the candles on the mantelpiece in the second photo, and instantly thought of this verse.
Then I checked out today's sketch challenge - and turned on its side, I saw two candles - so, a quick and easy card which seems to be all I have time for midweek these days.
I meant my base to be sponged in a green to match the first photo, I don't know what happened there. But hey, I've captured the feeling with the neutral colours and light airiness .
A2 base sponged with a rather dry ColorBox pad.
Paper is K&Co, edges sponged with lavender.
I stamped the verse on white card, sponged with Antique Linen, sponged the edges with Lavender and then used the negative of the bird wing (my candle flame) to sponge a candle flame over the sentiment.
I embossed my "candles" just to add a bit more visual interest, and sponged them with Old Paper. The wick is twine, the flame is the bird's wing from SU's bird builder punch.
Sentiment popped up on foam.
