Christmas Candles for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all well and  coping.

Can hardly believe that two weeks have past since the last Christmas Card Club post, and what a lot has happened in those two weeks. Anyhoo, here I am with the theme for this time around chosen by the lovely Rita and it's Candles on our cards, or anything goes.
I've managed three this time;

This is a much loved stamp from Papermainia, bought yonks ago, and this time I've used non traditional colours with Prisma Colour Pencils, matted on to blue sparkly card and a cream card base. Shimmer and pearls to finish. Sentiment is from A Creative Stamping magazine.

This card shows a Memory Box die that I hardly ever use, and it's such a lovely one, perfect for this challenge. Cut out in white, then again in green and the green stuck on to the holly image. More cutting in yellow card just to get those tiny bits of flame. Shimmer pen to give a bit of sparkle and some tiny pearls. I've used a Tonic Studio sentiment.

This lovely image is one from a Creative Stamping magazine and coloured with Copic markers with some shimmer. Sentiment again from Tonic Studio. Papers are from  a  Dovecraft  pad, Time to Sparkle. I decided to put and frame around the edge of the paper and  few gold gems to finish off with.
 I hope this fits the bill Rita, I had fun making these cards and using  some old stash, so thank you so much for the challenge.

Thank you all for your continued visits to my blog and the lovely comments that you leave, and it's great to hear how you are all doing, it's a great way of offering each other encouragement and support at this time of uncertainty....and it ain't going to be over by Easter, so we just have to keep doing the right thing, stay at home mostly, just going out when necessary for food and medicines and a wee bit of exercise. 
Did you all clap the Carers the other night? I dragged Alistair to the door to do it, Scottish men are not good at showing emotion, but he did it and quite a few neighbours did too. We have a nurse in our street, that was really how I got him to the door. The funny thing was that the day after we met Carrie's hubby out with their children, and  he told us that they had forgotten that it was happening so missed it. I just wish they had the PPE that they need, apparently our hospital here in Inverness doesn't have enough and we are the only major hospital in the Highlands and Islands.
I live very near the hospital and seen an increase of the helicopters flying into the hospital, Army helicopters too, obviously bought in to assist. Much of the Highlands is very rural and of course there are all the Islands to take in to account.

Anyway, we thankfully remain fine,  I'm joining in with Jo Wicks doing a bit of exercise in the morning and a wee walk most days. Alistair is going out on his bike  when the weather permits. He is missing his mountains though.  I'm trying not to let my days be filled with housework, no need to go daft with that lol, but getting quite a few cards made.

Do look at the  lovely cards that my teamies create, and I'll say cheerio for now and see you soon,
stay well and safe,
