Anyway, I'm so excited to show you the project I've made today! I've been contemplating taking down our Christmas decorations (it will happen soon...maybe), but before I do, I needed to create some Valentine's decor! I received some gorgeous Victorian paper and some pillar candles for Christmas, and recently won some gorgeous flowers and velvety leaves from a blog candy give away. I used all of these to create some beautiful home decor!
Here are the set of candles I've made~
Details~
Didn't they turn out stunningly?! I'm so very proud of them! I used Christmas gifts to make them--candles and all! It's all new to me! :) I used two different patterned papers, some large blooms, velvet leaves, designer brads, and homemade glimmer mist.
I have a TIP about glimmer mist. Lay down a sheet of tissue paper and lay whatever you're spraying on top of it and then you can use the glimmered tissue paper for other projects. :)
Because I'm so very proud of these, I'm linking it to the following challenges~
Pile It On~Anything goes
Pink Elephant~Anything goes
Top Tip Tuesday~Anything goes
Gingersnaps~Use wax (candle)
For Your Inspiration~Cathedral photo (they use candles there, right? Also inspired by the colors)
Hi Minette these candles are amazing.I have only done one decorated candle so far
ReplyDeleteI realised I had so many stamps etc for sale that instead of listing them on my blog ( the post would be sooooo long) i have put them on Ebay - theparadiseway999). I will also put a link to it in my blog post.If you see any items you like and buy them, please let me know it is you ( i will include a few extras for you!)
