No Cards Allowed

The very tallented Nellie has chosen the theme this week at Stampotique, and has come up with Anything But A Card. Here's what she says.
When I participate in challenges, escpecially when I’m short of time, I tend to make cards. They are usually a quick and easy thing to make. So this week I challenge you (and myself) to make ANYTHING BUT A CARD for the Stampotique designer’s challenge. I made  a double journalpage in my little artjournal. I’m very curious to see what you come up with!”
 This is mine, it's an outdoor candle bag.
I must admit I'd never heard of outdoor candle bags, but it's amazing what you can find in Poundland :-) 
For the safety concious it's an LED  light inside - though it does say on the instructions that you can put a tea light inside the paper bag if you'r careful EEK!
So for our Father's Day BBQ we put the naked flame/LED bag to the test and very nicely it did too!
The bag has been coloured with PanPastels in reds, oranges and yellows then just stamped and highlighted with a white pen. I was surprised at how nicely it took the pastels and ink 'cos it's quite waxy, but everything stayed put.
I've used
and  Owl Tree.
So, just for today cards are banned! Check out my teamies inspiration then join in the fun for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate.
I'm also entering this into the Pan Pastel challenge which is Male Theme. What could be more manly than a BBQ tool lol.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day xx
