Christmas Lamps

This month the image for the progressive challenge at Limited Runs is a Christmas Light Bulb. There is alot you could do with this little image; a string of lights, a pile of lights, a large single light. I decided to use it as the bulb in a couple of table lamps.

Materials used: 

Limited Runs Stamps - Image free from the Limited Runs Facebook page
Limited Runs Stamps - Jingle Bells Set
candle stick digi image free from internet
acrylic greeting stamp
black archival ink pad
white silver swirl designer paper
holly sprig and flowers designer paper
X-Press It card
Copic pens
narrow white ribbon


Arrange the lightbulbs onto the top of the candle sticks and print out on X-Press It card with three bells from the Jingle Bells set. Colour all the images with Copics.

Cover the front of an A5 card blank with white silver swirl paper then the holly paper slightly smaller to leave a narrow border, at this point add the narrow ribbon down the side folding it under the paper at the top and bottom.

Fussy cut the three bells and arrange down the ribbon, attach with gel glue to give some dimension. Trim the main image to size and edge with a black pen. Attach to the front of the card.

Stamp the greeting at the bottom with black ink.

Thank you for visiting. Take care.
