Grand Gothic Luminary

Good Tuesday morning.  I have another window project to share with you today using the Poppystamps Grand Gothic Window  and the Grand Gothic Luminary.   You will see as you look at the inconsistency of the three photos that I had a hard time getting good shots of the the gold embossing and the vellum window. I took the liberty to show some photos playing with the light effect on my Paint Shop Pro.

I die cut the window and the luminary, applied versa and embossed with gold embossing powder. I attached the luminary to the window frame with glossy accents and attached a piece of vellum to the back of the window. I  cut an opening in the card base and attached the window with mounting tape and then attached cut a second window on the inside of the card so it would be pretty from both sides.

I attached  the candles to the base of the window with glossy accents and then created the floral spray with pine branches and tiny punched daily flowers.  I applied stickles to the candle flames for a little sparkle and inserted tiny little  bling to the flower centers.

  Here are my two attempts at adding some lighting effects. I am so technically challenged with this editing program. I’ve had it forever and all I know how to do is edit the photo a little and apply my watermark. LOL!

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope you have a great day.

Simply beautiful !!! You do such amazing work & I always look forward to your next creation.
I love your watermark .. What editing program do you use for that? I too am challenged with computer & cameras but love to try new things. Really like how your watermark is rounded.

This is gorgeous! I think you did a great job getting the idea of lighting across in your photo - a very difficult thing to accomplish! I too am interested in how you made the candles? Thanks you for sharing so much of your talent!

The candles were made with the Martha Stewart candle punch. Here is a link to a place I found that sells it. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=martha+stewart+candle+punch&view=detail&id=01CD9AAD4A953E707D1FF97B34CCE772170BD083&first=1

Fabulous card- as always. This looks so life like - just love it.
What punch did you use for the candels? I have seen it before on another card you did but have not seen this punch anywhere.

Oh, Kittie - spectacular! I was interested in the affects you were able to get with your software. I'm impressed that you can do a watermark - I still to buy a program to enable that trick.
