3D Christmas Candle & Card Set +boxCompleted by Gwyneth George

I cut the layers of the candle out of 160gsm white cardstock and the box back, lid and bottom out of 250gsm cardstock in red and green, to go with my intended decoration of holly with berries. I cut the front of the box out of acetate.

After cutting out I used and ink duster to put a halo of yellow on the "flame" part of the candle, and then used some red mica liquid to put a bit of red around the inside of the flame. I used a paper glue with a "quick grab" time to stick the layers together. I used template tape to stick the acetate front of the box to the card back and also to put the box lid and base together and attach the base to the body of the box. I embossed strips of Centura Pearl cardstock, two of which I put over the join of the card back to the acetate front of the box. The third strip I wrapped around the candle. I finished off by putting some holly embelishments on the ring around the candle and on the box lid.

I've also cut out the card, from Adorable scoreable card, but forgot to photograph it. Wps! The mini candles on the card look just as effective as the large candle, just make sure to cut the delicate card out of good quality cardstock.
