For my card today, I made a couple of background papers I made from watercolor paper combined with some Colorburst Powders.  For the top layer, I combined a stencil from the Crafter's Workshop with the powders.  The wheel shape of the stencil made me think it would be a good way to highlight the "glow" of my new candle die from the latest Impression Obsession release.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from one of the new Top Edger die sets.  The nice thing about the edger sets is that the letters remain attached to the paper so that you don't have to individually place each letter and hope they are straight.

Here is a close up of the candle die and the Colorburst background:

    After two days without power, this candle has special meaning to me. We enjoyed two evenings with candle glow. I think this will be a very versatile die set for the holidays to and I can see it with many inspirational sentiments. I like your use of Color Bursts and the use of that candle glow stencil. TFS!

    The background with the candle is very striking. I can envision a small nativity set below the candle. Your background is perfect for the candle.
