This one is made of wood so you must never leave it unattended, which I never do anyway. I reluctantly covered the wood with a coat of sand coloured paint. It seemed a shame as the wood is lovely, but I need a better base for the stamping & colouring. I stamped & embossed the flowers in copper then coloured in carefully with Promarkers. Some distress ink was lighted added to the edges and some copper tape attached top & bottom. While I was at it also made up a card to match...
Then my calendar page for the week...
For this one I cut out the leaves and added a hand drawn candle & a quote.
The goodies that I used from The Craft Barn ...

Oh Karen, you've done such a lovely job with this and the calendar page is especially lovely.
I had a bit of a phase of making the actual candles a few years back - sold a good few at "Sales of work" and kept a few - none of those here now though I got sick of dusting them!
Ooohh that's gorgeous Karen, it'd make a good gift. Lovely matching projects too xxx
Those IO leaf stamps are lovely, aren't they? Great makes, love the candle holder especially!
I love all of these, Karen. How gorgeous. I might need that stamp!!!
