Candle holder and gift box

Here is another make for crafters companion.

The gift box was made using the Big Score and the gift box tutorial from the tutorial DVD.

I used A3 double sided centura pearl card stock from the downton abbey collection to make the gift box. English country garden floral vine edge die for the candle holder, and the matching English country garden floral duo dies. The embellished flowers were cut from centura pearl Snow White card with a hint of gold. The sentiment was with love from the die'sire essential die collection. This project I was able to use my brand new Spectrum Noir Aquatint inks essential collection in gold to colour the centura pearl card, heat resistant acetate was used for the window.

The candle holder was made by re using an empty Nutella jar. A Yankee candle votive was used inside the candle holder to make a beautiful gift.

Hi every one, sorry for the delay in posting.

For this card I used Sheena Douglass Every Rose stamp and the fabulous spectrum noir aquablend pencils. I used the primary and natural set. The stamp was stamped onto Neenah classic white card.
From the primaries I used verdant green, bright green, ruby, red berry, grapefruit and sapphire pencils and from the natural collection I used clay, sorrel and wheat colours. I used a waterbrush to blend the pencils and tore around the image.

I also used 12x12 core'dinations dark paper pad for the background which I sanded with the core'dinations sand it set.
The sentiment just for you stamp was from diesire sentimental love is all you need stamp set, I used spectrum noir bt9 to ink up the stamp. I mounted the background onto centura pearl Snow White with a hint of gold card stock.ii
