Grammy's Card

Hi ya friends,
Hope you have recouped a bit from the holiday blitz in time for the New Year's one coming up :)  I must have been a reeeeeally good girl this year cuz I got lots of new toys this Christmas! Ha! Santa must have not been checking too closely ;) wink---> My fav gift was a new ipad 4! Now my Apple trifecta is complete! I have a mac computer, an iphone, & now an ipad! Yay! Annnnnd, I got the new Pendergast novel Two Graves which I'm reading on my new ipad :)

I realized I forgot to post the Christmas card I made for my grammy. I have wanted to make this card style since I first saw it & i knew she would love it.

Here's my card:

 It's a tea light easel card. The ones that I've seen twist to one side, but I wanted to make a forward facing one with room for a small addition of the poem "Twas the Night before Christmas" heat embossed in gold at the top.

Here it is lit: (sorry for the weird lighting :(

A closer peek:

As you can see from this shot, I layered the poinsettia 3 times to make it dimensional. I added glitter to the flame & the melted wax part. i thought the candle image was *perfect* for this card style. Oh! This beauty is called Holiday Poinsettia Candle from Heartfelt Creations. I luuuv the stamps  and coordinating dies in this collection! Just so preeeeetty!

Ack! I can't believe how this week just flew by! That means my vacation is half over & I still have so much I want to do :( Ah well, better make the most of next week!

Thanks so much for peeking today.
Hope you have a couple of lovely crafternoons this weekend!
Gotta Go!
