Lights!! Happy Hanukkah!

Lights! Hanukkah the festival of lights honors a miracle. The supply of oil in the Temple was enough only to keep the Menorah lights for one day… but miraculously the lights burn for 8 days. When I think of this miracle…I cannot stop to think how that difficulty faced back then could be translated into today’s reality, where so many people has to “magically” makes things last. Faiths keep us alive!

Now to the card! I am getting crazy about micro beads. I have to say that if you try to use micro beads you going to go nuts. BUT these tiny little balls look PRE-TTY! The texture given by these tiny beads is so cool; you surely will get a nice extra “humph” in your design. It is worth chasing them around : ). I highly recommend using a tray and also lots of fabric softer sheet to help with the static.

In this card I also used for the first time my new Sizzix embossing folder. I like very much the tiny flowers. This new folder is a winner….perfect for Valentine’s Day and spring! Don’t you think? Do you have Sizzix folders? What is your favorite?
