I used a stained glass stencil, but since I only wanted the lines (the stencil fills in the centers), I tacked it down on a piece of white &amp; sponged the metallic gold ink all over it as you&#8217;d normally do. Carefully, I lifted the stencil &amp; turned it inked side down on top of my AI bg &amp; used a brayer to go over it. That left me w\/ just the lines &amp; I quickly heat embossed it w\/ mirror gold powder. The large brushed gold layer was cut w\/ a stitched rect die then I die cut it again w\/ the candle circle. The flame parts were cut out of 2 different shades of gold, as well as the stitched frame. These were attached on top of the green bg &amp; the greeting was also gold embossed on a narrow dk green strip. The entire candle layer is popped up on a foam layer to give it a little dimension.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-35892\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-35892\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522.jpg 624w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522-392x400.jpg 392w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522-589x600.jpg 589w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gold-Candles-cu-IMG3522-172x175.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThanks\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">so much for stopping by!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12715\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies:<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 175px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"527\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b>Stamps:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #78c7c7;\">Rubbernecker Stamps: <a style=\"color: #78c7c7;\" title=\" RN Snowmen w\/ Presents 3336\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rubbernecker.com\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=3336&amp;Click=3223\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Snowmen w\/ Presents<\/a><\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/drsdesigns.com\/backgrounds\/1186-splatter-background.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b>Paper:<\/b>\u00a0 Staples 110# white, glossy white, brushed gold, lt gold<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Ink: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Ultimate metallic gold<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><b style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Accessories:<\/b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #78c7c7;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Rubbernecker Stamps: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;
