Accessories: White Lustre Card; Black Card; Silver Peel-offs (stickers); Copics; Sakura Glaze Gel and Moonlight Pens
I decided to pick our Stash challenge and use up some of my enormous collection of peel-off stickers. I adhered the large candle onto some scrap white card and then coloured it with a mixture of Copic markers and Sakura Glaze Gel pens. You can't really see it in the picture above, but the big candle has a lovely shine. I used a die to cut the rectangle. On the black panel I adhered a simple peel-off sentiment (which is actually silver and not gold as it appears here), a couple more candles and some little bubbles. I coloured the smaller candles with Sakura Moonlight Pens which are opaque on black and also a bit neon. On the inside I cut another mat layer in black and on the white panel added a simple sentiment and another candle. I coloured the candle with Copic markers while it was still on the carrier sheet, once dry I carefully removed it and it is now multi-coloured!!!
I was on a bit of a roll, so I decided to make another card with peel-offs. Once again there is no stamping on this card at all.

This one is ultra clean and simple. I made the shaped card by using my Spellbinder die to cut the card base and also the black panel. On the panel I added a simple Christmas tree with a little robin (silver peel-offs) and a fun sentiment on the side. On the inside I cut a mat layer in black and added a white panel on which I adhered some more Christmas trees. I coloured them while still on the carrier sheet.

Wow Deborah! You have made those stickers look stunning! My sticker cards never turned out that well - yours are amazing. Have a great weekend, Gill x
Beautiful cards Deborah! Love the stickers against the black!
Two gorgeous cards Deborah. I LOVE how the colors from the candles pop against the black base. Happy July :o)
Your candles look so good I must go and look out the masses of stickers I have in my stash.

Hi Deborah! I love your cards. This is a fun blog hop. I seem to remember that I was supposed to participate in it, but then my email address changed and I forgot all about it. I'm so sorry! I'd love to do it next time, though!
Like all the others who have left a comment this will inspire me to look out the stickers and peel offs languishing in a box, love both cards
Love this, Deborah! Thanks for the reminder to pull out my Peel-Offs and put them to work :)
These are awesome stickers! At first it looked like you embossed the whole card...then I saw the recipe you used! Silly me! But that aside...I like this card! Thank you so much for sharing!
I think most of us have peel off stickers in our stash and kind of forget to use them. I think your last card looks so stylish, it has a great CAS look and it feels so right for the season. I also like your idea of coloring the stickers, and also the space inside of the stickers. Well done!
Deborah,
How can so little say so much and look so beautiful? Blessings,
Carole
I've not used stickers, but you have definitely inspired me to give 'em a try! Lovely cards!
Wow, Deborah you've done a great job with the peel off stickers, I love how the images pop against the dramatic black! Great idea to colour the stickers too! I LOVE the way you shaped the second card, what a sophisticated look!
Have a great week! Ruth x
We so often scorn peel offs and I don't know why when you can make a card as fabulous as these. The candle is my favourite, the colours are so vibrant on the black background.

Lovely cards - and excellent use of stickers. Not something I have used either - may have to give it a whirl!
Nice. I like the texture
Stickers are great to make a quick card! I used them on mine as well. Thanks for the hop!

Stickers definitely seemed like the hardest challenge- great job taking it on! Especially love the third one with the trees, so simple and pretty :)
WOW! Deborah! How brave of you to do the Sticker challenge .... and you've pull it off beautifully! Perfect!

Great use of your stickers...That last card is very modern looking!
Lovely use of stickers! The candles look like cut glass!
Oh, I've been meaning to use up some of those peel-offs I've had in my stash like forever and your cards have just given me another reason why I should. Wonderful cards.
