Due to the fact I am not very mobile at the moment I had to use the Heartfelt Creations Candle stamp. I stamped it 3 times in all so I could decoupage it. I used Promarkers for colouring and highlighted the image with Stickles and Crackled accents over the dripping wax on the candle. The frame I used is Spellbinders Enchanted Labels 28. Distress Ink in Festive Berries was used to add some colour to the corners and edges. The sentiment is from a Just-rite set. I used a gold linen look card to mat it onto my card.
My foot is still strapped up, but I am trying hard to do what I'm told and for me who likes to be doing things, its awful. Family have been great. I'm still trying to catch up with your blogs and I'm sure I'll get to you eventually.
Take Care. Hugs Rita xxxx

A great Christmas card and just right for the challenge. So sorry to hear you've had a mishap and I hope you make a quick recovery - so frustrating being unable to get around as well as being uncomfortable.
It is a beautiful Christmas card Rita. I love the way the red and white look against the linen effect gold card. I really hope your sprain eases soon, but enjoy the rest while you can! Big healing hugs, Anne xx

Oh Rita, so sorry to hear you've had a mishap. I was late as well, but didn't have a good excuse at all! LOL. Your card is beautiful, as always.Love the filigree corners on the focal image, and the glitter of the candle really sparkles too. It's a wonderful interpretation of the Lights theme at CClub, and TFS. Hugs & hope the foot heals quickly.
Hi there Rita - love your Candle light card - it looks really super. Brilliant way you have coloured the corners - I thought you had die-cut the corners in red and stuck them on. Your way is much better! I hope you will feel better very soon, rest your foot as much as you can.
Big hugs to you Sue Pxxx

A frustrating time for you but you do know that if you rest now then there is no doubt you will be back on your feet, running around, much sooner than if you push it too much at the moment.
I am glad to see that you are finding some time to create beautiful cards such as this.
Take good care of yourself.

You have really made this stamp excel itself by decoupaging it. It really stands out and is a perfect choice for Asha's challenge. Hope you will soon be back to crafting as normal. Hugs ValeryAnne (aka Mrs A. )
What a lovely festive card - and I'm sure you'll be forgiven a touch of tardiness all things considered. Happy to hear the family are rallying round (not that I ever doubted it!)... and I hope you'll be able to curb your desire to be up and doing long enough for your body to recover!
