Valentine Candles

L'amour. Yep, 'tis the season! ;) Did you notice my new blog decor? Isn't it darling! KISSES! And an adorable owl! So lovey dovey! ;)

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~
