Christmas Card Club - shine a light.

Good morning lovelies - this is my first of two posts today - over at the Christmas Card Club the theme is Christmas lights. I found I had 3 stamps with candles/lamps on them and couldn't choose between them - so I decided to use all three in three separate cards all made using the same technique.

In each card I stamped the image and then masked it off - then masked off most of the card except for a strip - then coloured up the strip using distress inks and a TH layering stencil - I tried to create the effect of the light coming from the candles or the lantern. I think it works quite well and was pleased with these! Unfortunately the final card got inky fingers on it - so I had to add the greeting in a layer to hide it - lol!!!! The first stamp is from penny black and the other two are LOTV.

I'd like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
