Today's spotlight is shining on the Light My World set illustrated by Chaitali Narla and the new Holiday Sequin Mix. And since it's Monday, I chose to use this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my card. I actually made two cards with the sketch (one with the Light My World set and the other with the new Psalm 119:105 Plain Jane that will be featured later this week).
First up, I stamped the candle trio image from Light My World on a piece of cream cardstock that had been happily splattered with some watered down ink when I was cleaning a stamp. I liked the splatter, so decided to use it. I die cut the circle and then sponged some scattered straw ink over the image before taking it out of the die cut. Next I stamped the bottom portion of flowers on cream, watercolored with distress markers and popped up for some dimension. And I stamped the candles on dp, then sponged with forest moss, cut out and paper pieced onto the image, coloring in the flames with a wink of stella marker. The sentiment is stamped onto cream, then cut into a flag and accented with some gold cording and a red rhinestone.
Next up is my card with the Psalm 119:105 Plain Jane.
I embossed the verse in early espresso onto cream cardstock, cut out and matted with a scallop circle die cut. On both cards, I used my paper corrugator to crimp a few lines on the left edge. The papers I chose were shabby chic, so I distressed a bit, covering a wood banner with some of the DP and adding some paper flowers and iridescent leaves to finish things off.

Both your cards are gorgeous.My fav is the candle one because of the stamp and all the great textures you used!
I loved the patterned paper you used on the candles! I'll have to dust off my crimper too - I really like it that you just crimped a little bit on both cards.
Wonderful cards Julee. Love the holiday images. The paper pieced candles look so elegant. The verse is beautiful.
Julee, both your cards are lovely. I like the use of the not so traditional colours. Great texture on both cards with the use of the embellishments.
The stamp set is very useful indeed and love those sequins so rich.
