Wedding Shower Candles

My Husband's Uncle is getting married at the end of the March and I was asked to decorate 56 jar candles for his wedding shower that took place last month. The bridesmaid's dresses are brown and the bride's dress is accented with pink flowers. So, I thought the new SU! Berry Bliss Designer Paper would be perfect! I decorated two different size candles with the Berry Bliss DP and Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa cardstock. I used the set Going to the Chapel by My Favorite Things. I stamped the images onto Whisper White cardstock with Palette Noir Ink. For the smaller candles, I colored in the rings with my Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen and added StarDust Stickles to the diamond. For the larger candles, I used a blender pen and Regal Rose ink to color in the image and added some sparkle with (none other than) my Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. Instead of using ribbon for each of the candles, I used tulle. Not only is less expensive, but I thought it would be more fitting being that the candles were for a wedding shower.
