Mother's Day Gift Box with Candles

This beautiful card which was designed to hold Easter Eggs I converted to hold tea light candles so it could be a Mother's Day Gift. There are inserts inside that keep the candles in place.  The insert can be removed and other things can be put in the box, things you know Mother would like.  I put candles in there because my mom was the "light of my life". It was made using a tutorial from Craft Project Central (April).

Stamp: Four Tage
Ink: Marina Mist
Papers: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Early Espresso, Garden Gala designer Paper, Window sheets (medium)
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Fun Flower die
Tea Light candles, rhinestone brad









This is a view of the side and top.














A close up of the flowers.  Each flower from the Fun Flower die was snipped between each petal and then the edges sponged with Marina Mist and the edges curled up.  A rhinestone was put in the center.
A tag was attached "To Mom" " from Me"
