Happy Diwali

I was a lucky winner on the Viva la Verve Blog

and with my winnings this is one of the sets I choose:

"Light my World" and I received it just in time to make 

a card for Diwali. This is a Hindu festival I just learned about

now that my daughter is on vacation in India.

Now about the Diwali Festival.

It is a light festival and you can read all about it here.

So I made a card with lots of bling and light.

The lights are colored with markers and I cut them out

with scissors. Behind each flame there is a circle

of gold paper. The sentiment is also embossed with 

gold embossing powder and all the dots of gold

are sequins that came in my package. I used a little 

tombow glue to fastned them to the black background.

I found these wonderful washi tape rolls in my 

stash and they go perfectly with the theme of my card.

Wishing some of my friends a wonderful celebration

and Happy Diwali!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
