Seemacrafts - 'Something for Mum' challenge

Good Morning bloggers, and happy 1st of the month.

Today see's a new challenge start over on the Seemacrafts challenge blog where we would like to see your projects 'For Mum'. There are a couple of prizes this month. Seema is entering into the world of Digi's so has offered 2 runners up 2 digis from her site Seemacrafts. 
Her neice also has a fab site where she sells her Wood Shapes and she has kindly donated a prize aswell. Do pop over and take alook at these 2 fab ladies creations. 

As you are aware it is Mother's Day here in the UK at the end of this month so I decided to make a set for my sister off of her 2 children.

I wanted to make something extra special and something my Sister would be able to keep so I decided to make a decorated candle and card gift set for her.

Please be aware there is lots of pictures lol

 I used a Tatty Ted image from the Do Crafts Spring Chic Cd rom for both the candle and the decoupage for the card. I also used my Crafters Companion sweet treats board to create the milk carton box.

 

This is just a small 6x6 card

 I printed the image onto white tissue paper and then used my heat tool to melt it onto the candle. (I found this technique on Youtube)

 I used the Do Crafts digital designer software to add the sentiment to the image before printing

 As my candle is a medium size (approx 5in) I had to make a slight amendment to the measurements when tracing from the sweet treats board as the large milk carton was too big and the smaller size was too small. I just made the box shorter so that the candle fitted in perfectly. The bow is made from the bow templates off the sweet treats cd. I cut an aperture from the front and added in some acertate so that it became a presentation box.

The papers are printed from the Tatty Ted cd and co'ordinate with the papers used on the card.

Extra Supplies include; CC boxer board to create the pin wheel, coloured inks, buttons and bling from my stash and centura pearl card for the milk carton base
