Happy Chanukah!

Hello! Welcome to the Hanna Stamps November Blog Hop!! I am showcasing the Chanukah Hanna set. I think this is a fabulous set!! Ok, admittedly, this Irish girl is not Jewish. (shocking, right?! lol!) But I still think this is a great set because almost all of the stamps in this set can be used individually. They are more than just accessories in my opinion.
Here's the problem...I am admittedly pretty ignorant when it comes to the Jewish culture. Yet I still love to choose these different cultural sets when Kristi shows us the new sets and lets us choose!! I can't help myself. They all seem so intriguing to me! So I start Googling! I found out that apples and honey are significant during Rosh HaShanah. I didn't know! I really wanted to know what that Hebrew symbol meant...but I found a couple that were similar, but not exact...and couldn't be sure. And I didn't want to make an insensitive card...so I let it be and hope that someone who reads this can tell me. :)

For the first card I embossed the menorah and the stars of David with silver embossing sing powder. I was just going to leave it uncolored and simple...but it seemed a bit too blah. So I colored the candles. Then the flames. The the base....I left the other arms of menorah white on purpose. Does it look weird? I used my silver Spica glitter pen to color the base. It is very shimmery in real life. The silver stars on the second Chanukah card are also embossed. I hope that you enjoyed these cards!
