Hearts Ease Tea light card

 Hearts Ease Tealight 

Card

by Sue Smyth 

Here is a sweet idea for all of those card makers out there.

This is a fold out card that holds a tealight, which is a lovely

gift to give anyone.

I have cut an oval window in one side to see the decorated

tea light in side. Then die cut a scalloped oval frame to

go over top.

Decorate the sides with smaller panels of Victorian labels die

and Scalloped & Nested circles for the centres.

You can personalize the greetings you put on the sides to 

suit you.

Then tie it all up with tie dyed seam binding. You can light 

the candle with the box folded up or down. 

As hot air rises it will not burn the sides, but if you are

worried, just pop one of those battery tea lights in instead!

Follow the little step by step below to alter your flower.

I have also altered the leaves the same as a previous post, with

gesso and distress inks.
