My sister-in-laws and I always exchange a little something at our Mothers Day Brunch. I bought a few candles from Home Goods. They came with a plain band, which I used as a template. The longest paper I had was 12". So I cut a circle from Plantin Schoolbook then added strips to each side. Then I folded the sides to fit around the candle. I decorated the top with flowers from Flower Shoppe and Artiste . I ran the circle through my Cuttlebug using Textile folder. The sunburst and sentiment on the front side is also Artiste.The sentiment on the back side is My Creative Time on a Spellbinders die. The papers are My Paper Studio. I used Memento and Colorbox inks.
