I LOVE Valentines!
I really love the colors associated with the holiday...red, white, and silver. I made these Valentine gifts for my two daughters who both live out of state. All three of us live in different time zones. The candle was made using a digi image from Softpencil. I colored it digitally on the computer, printed it out on tissue paper, and then applied it to the candle using wax paper and a heat gun. Then it was accented with Stickles. I packaged it up in a pretty box from Papertrey Ink, "Get a Handle on It". I cut hearts from Bazzill CS and Glitter CS with Nesties and embossed them with Provo Craft Embossing folders. DP is "Me and My Big Ideas". The button is from "Dress It Up", and the ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. Each daughter received an identical gift. I just love hearts! I think it is my favorite shape. February is the perfect month for them. This project fits quite a few challenges:
