Cherry Votive

by

We had an unusual assignment today at the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges. Our sponsor is Karen's Doodles. We were to make a votive holder as our verse is Luke 8:16. You light up a votive candle and put this holder over it, and you can see the light through the cherry image. I thought to myself that there's no way I could pull this off as I don't do altered stuff very often or venture outside of the card arena, but it was actually quite easy. I used materials that I haven't used before, or in a long time. This project went perfectly along with our verse today of letting your light shine and I have to think, how often does my light shine and how bright is it? How about you? Let's all make it a point this week to really let Jesus shine through us. If you would like to make your own votive holder, here's a very simple tutorial that you can follow. There are so many possibilities as to how you can make yours look. Don't forget to share them with us! Thank you for stopping by today and God bless.

  5. When I saw this in the gallery I know I had to step up my game to meet this challenge as you just blew me away.  Great job and wonderful inspiration, dear friend.  Have a great week.

  6. I have never seen that cherry embossing folder used before what a perfect accompaniment for the paper and image. Great idea for a votive! And I'm so fond of cherries, having had some fabulous ones in Michigan. Great thoughts too on the verse.

  8. Hello Cindy – what a fabulous and fun votive!  I love the gorgeous image and the embossing – they match beautifully!  I am glad you made this – I love the look of it!  Thanks for sharing Cinsy – it is great having you with us this month – you are a blessing!  {{{hugs}}}
