Candles

I had the sudden realisation that I had to get 7 presents for teachers this year ... 7!!! 5 for the pre-school staff and 2 for school. Having seen Inge's candle and match box idea over in the Whiff of Joy Inspiration blog, I decided to do candles for everyone.
Oh and I managed to cover a few challenges at the same time!!
Roses on Paper - red, green and gold
Stampin for the weekend Blue and Brown
Simon Says Stamp - Merry Christmas
Passion for Promarkers - Christmas or New Year, but not a card
My Time to Craft - Yuletide wishes
Creative card Crew - Anything goes
Stamp with Fun - little presents
Creative Inspirations - Christmas gifts

I used two colour schemes for the candles - red and green, and blue and brown.
I stamped the images and coloured them using promarkers. I cut them out using my nesties, matted them onto cardstock and then stickled them.
I used matching cardstock and MME Christmas design apers to make the decorative bands that hold the four candles together. I tied them using ribbon and twine nad ten added a hydrangea flower with a rose in the centre.
I wrapped them in cellophane and added the tag and wish label.
Simples!!
Here is the blue and brown style...
And here they all are ...
You can't really see the stickles as the light is naff today.
And the last three.
I have to confess to not doing the decorated match boxes ... Ellie and Beth with matches .mmmm not a good idea!!
