TIME OUT - GD - Unwrap a Special Day

Greetings!

So honored to have a GD gig at TIME OUT Challenges. Thank you DT for selecting my card a couple of weeks ago and including me. Our inspiration is the following quote:

'When it rains look for rainbows, when it's dark, look for stars.'

My card focuses on rainbow colors and stars. The candles are inked using dye and distress inks and heat embossed. Each candle represents one of the colors in the rainbow. Instead of using flames I chose to use star-shaped sequins. Each sequin has a gem in the middle that matches its respective candle color. The sentiment is inked and heat embossed in white on a strip of black card stock.

Hope you're having a wonderful day. Thank you for visiting and commenting ... always appreciate your feedback.
