candle favors for My gift for mom stamp camp I hosted.

These were the favors I gave everyone who came to my gift for mom stamp camp I bought the candles from Michaels for $1.00. and decorated them up. They had a ton of them in all different colors. It worked out great because the colors they had matched the Designer paper afternoon tea from Stampin up that I used for the camp. Except for the purple ones I just got them just because. To decorate them I used white stazon and stamped right on the glass with the thank you from all holidays and the butterflies were from the live your dream from the stampin up set.

On the top I used baroque motifs stampin up set using the SU scallop punch to punch it out. Lastly I used the stitched ribbon to match again except for the purple one. I found grosgrain ribbon to match that one.
If you want, You can find the photo brag book that we did for the camp under March in my blog

Thanks for looking have a great day.
