Autumn candle

Hello everyone hope your Friday is going well. Here is a project I've been working on. We have our friends Conny and Sebastian coming to visit us in October and we're going to have dinner with them at our apartment so I'm busy doing some nice Autumn themed decorations for our table. This is one of the candles, I'm working on the other one, just waiting on an item for Ebay to arrive before I can finish it. Greg and I found these lovely candles at Marshalls, and they are great for decorating. This particular one is a vanilla and cinammon scented one. I took the label off and then got into my papercrafting supplies. I used a really pretty piece of red and white autumn inspired patterned paper cut into a strip 8cm wide. Then I layered on some brown cardstock. My lovely Greg lets me use his Cricut Cake cartridges for my papercrafting and the Martha Stewart Holiday Cakes one had a beautiful leaf border on it. So I put it into the Cricut Craft room and made it 12 inches long to fit around the candle. I cut this in a light brown and then used a silver gel pen to add leaf veins on them.  I then used my Create a Critter catridge to cut out a little pumpkin and pinecone and used my Peachy Keen face stamps to stamp on the faces, aren't they cute? I used white gel pen to accent them. I hot glued these on and finished with a red bow.I'm also going to enter this candle into a challenge this week over at Peachy Keen stamps, which you can find here:
