Willow Baby Candle

**

I ordered this Willow stamp, by Elisabeth Bell

as soon as it was released, and then I waited

and waited and waited for one of my friends

to have a baby girl and now FINALLY I have

a chance to use it.

I know I could have used it for a baby boy but

as a crafter when I get an image in my head of

how I want something to look, that's how it

has to be.

I used the layout at Sketch Saturday for

my card. I wanted the focus to be on the

gorgeous stamp and the clean simple lines

of this sketch were perfect.

**

**

When my card was complete I wanted to

colour another Willow, so I decided to make

a co-ordinating baby candle.

**

**

I found this beautiful baby poem for one side

with Willow on the other.

I made matching hat-pins for the card and

the candle and used the same metallic pearls

and ribbon.

I love making candles. It amazes me how such

a simple process can look so stunning.

I just hope the recipient doesn't light it!!!!!
