CUTTLEBUGSPOT DECORATED CANDLES

























Good evening
Over at the Cuttlebugspot this week Nilda asked us to dust off our 2x2" dies /embossing folders so I looked in my stash and found this Cuttlebug 2 step die set Scribbled Flowers that I have had for about 3 years and never used! I've included the die in my photo I'm sure you recognise it.
I decided to decorate a set of candles for my project this week. Using the outline flower die from the set I cut 6 flowers with American crafts black cardstock for  each candle and attached them together with small silver jump rings and added crystal gems to the centres of the flowers. Voila a plain set of candles all prettied up!
Pop over to the Cuttlebugspot and see the gorgeous creations my DT sisters have made this week and be sure to get out your 2x2" dies/embossing folders and join us! There's a great prize again this week for the winner!
Thanks for popping in today

    Hi Julie, I love your candles girlfriend. How creative you ae, never thought about using the small dies as decoration. This looks so romantic, and elegant. OK, do you have a secret admirer you haven't told me about? LOL, wonderful take on the challenge. I sent you an e-mail yesterday, because we kept missing one another. Chat soon!
