Candle wrapping
In the continuing effort to use what I have...I decided to make a new wrap to go around this candle tin.
I got the candle a few years ago after Christmas on clearance...super deep discount that I couldn't pass up. Especially when I realized that the ugly Christmas paper would come right off.
Sweet!
I used watercolor paper as my base. The background color was achieved with distress inks, dress pattern tissue and found text.
I sifted through some of my new stash from a couple of swaps. I'm sure some of you may recognize some of your stuff. I love new fodder. It can be very inspiring.
This is going to be a gift...I hope the recipient likes it!

Very creative. Love the way you used some of your new stash pieces on that clearance candle. Way to go.
great use of what's at hand...you really transformed the candle into something special...I spy a familiar quote ;)
