Autumn Wishes

Vicki has chosen 3 fun colors for the Color Challenge on SCS: Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive with the dessert option to use leaves. I used the layout for the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge and will also enter this into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge with a "Just Sayin'" theme (put words/sentiment on card). I once again grabbed these fab leaf images by Tim Holtz and kept it CAS with only the sentiment as the focal point. The pop of turquoise is a fun addition to the traditional fall colors.
STAMPS: Falling Leaves (Tim Holtz), Harvest Blessings (Verve).
PAPER: Rustic Cream (PTI), Tempting Turquoise (SU), Vintage Cream (PTI).
INK: Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive.
ACCESSORIES: Fancy Labels Two by Spellbinders, Lg. oval and scalloped oval punches by SU.

Tinkering with Tealights

Just had to share a fun new gift idea I learned about at my last stamp club yesterday! My SU demonstrator had us make a gift box that holds 4 tea lights. The snowflake is stamped on punched tissue paper circles. A small center hole is punched to accommodate the wick, then you heat it several seconds with a heat gun and it melts into the wax. Here is a link to Tanya's online tutorial for a detailed description of the process. The box can be made from a single sheet of CS. You can also fit bite size candies (like Snickers bars) into this box.
