Ornate Blossom Candle and Gift Bag

 This has been a weekend of no card making.  I decided to try out this candle design I picked up from my first demonstrator who introduced me to Stampin' Up!  Beth's tutorial can be found on her blog Stamped with Flair.  Once you make one of these candles you're not going to want to part with it.  If you do decide you would like to give it away as a gift, here's a fun way for you to package it.

 Once I decide who will receive this beautiful gift, I will stamp the sentiment on the right side just above the background stamp.  Check back to see the split negative technique used for the card that will go with this gift set.  Meanwhile, here's a picture of the two projects together.  Love that rich razzleberry!
