I had it in my mind that Hanukkah started today - but the first candle was actually lit last night on December 1st. So, I'm late. (what else is new?) I try to make some Hanukkah cards for my friends who celebrate this holiday - it seems like the right thing to do! This card uses a Stampin' Up image that was embossed with detail black embossing powder then colored with Close-to-My-Heart marker (Spring Iris) for the candles, Creme Brulee for the flames (with a bit of stickles!) and a gold Signo gel pen for the candlestick. The image was left in the nestability after die-cutting and sponged with Vanilla Cream ink. The sentiment is another CTMH set stamped in black ink. I think the design paper was Yellow Bicycle. I saw it months ago and the color just said "Hanukkah" to me so I've been saving it.
Work has been wild-busy this week - but that means that here we are - Thursday evening and it's the first time I've looked up! Yes, I'm pretty tired but it's also very satisfying - I'm getting a lot accomplished. I'm looking forward to the weekend to get my Christmas cards moving - - -
I hope you're having a wonderful week. Can you believe it's December already?? Ne meither! (that's from "My Father's Dragon" - my DD and I say that to each other all the time) *grin*
Hugs!

What a gorgeous card - every detail is lovely. Beautiful colors.
Your week has been like mine - busy, fulfilling, and fast! Let's slow it down on the weekend. Don't you think we should?
Have a great Friday, sweet Sharli!
Oh how pretty!
What a beautiful card... how sweet of you to remember all of your friends and their celebrations... xoxo Julie Marie
Beautiful color combo, Sharli! Love the glistening effect! I wish I had commissioned you to create Hanukkah cards for my friends--I'm SO behind with everything! But our tree is up and lighted, and I'm enjoying a festive home, so now I can get back to creating! That vendor fair totally wiped me out. Happy weekend!
Such a beautiful card!! Love the colors! So sweet to remember your friend!
What a lovely menorah stamp Sharli - it looks wonderful embossed - very pretty design!
At least you made a card. Every year I say I am going to make one and every year the week passes me by. Yours is beautiful and I have saved if for next year as inspiration.
Beautiful job.
