Tonight we light the first candle for Hanukkah.
We will do so for 8 days: every day one candle more.
But there are 9......?
Number 9 is the helper candle. This one lights the other candles.
You want to know more about this Jewish Holiday?
Take a look HERE.
This first card is made with rubber stamps by
For the background I stamped the dreidel in versamark
and clear embossingpowder. Next I colored the paper with
broken china distress oxide ink and stamped the Hebrew letters.
This is called a resist technique.
The image and sentiment are embossed with black embossing
powder and colored a little with a blue marker.
For the second card I used a combination of the
Zum Gali Gali window/ dreidel stamp, Tim Holtz stencils
and the Stampin Up sentiment.No special technique here.
And this card is made with only Tim Holtz stencils
and a Stampin Up sentiment.
Every year I hope that Tim will have something
I can use for Hanukkah, like a candle, or a
6 pointed star or at least Happy Hanukkah.
Not that i have not asked him...but no result so far :-(
I made the candles out of the stencil THS102
by covering it with post-it notes.
The stars are first done with markers and stencil
Falling stars THS 115 and then with fossilized amber and
a blending tool to make the stars glitter.
The background is done with the
latticework THS 019 and vintage
oxide ink.
Thank you so much for looking
and have a wonderful Hanukkah!
