Our friends Debbie and Mike gave us this lovely scented candle in a jar before Christmas. It's scented with cherry and almond fragrance - yummy, it makes me want Bakewell tart each time I light it LOL! It's a big candle and will last us a long time, it has a 100 hour burn time. We used it over Christmas and before I lit it I decided to make a wrap for it. I made it a winter themed wrap as opposed to a specific Christmassy one so I could keep it out after Christmas.
I wrapped olive snowflake paper around the body of the jar. Nothing is adhered to the glass so that I can easily swap out the wrap if I want to. I used Labels Four Nestability dies for the image and mat layers. I punched holes in the olive mat and tied it onto the jar with vanilla ribbon. I embossed the cherry mat with the Victorian Fleur embossing folder and popped it up. After stamping the owl and die cutting the label shape, I edged the shape with olive ink and added an olive crystal to the centre of the large snowflake. I've also popped up the owl layer.
For the lid, I die cut cherry and olive circles. I stamped a large snowflake on vanilla CS, die cut it into a circle, edged the circle with ink and put an olive crystal in the centre. The olive and snowflake layers are popped up.

You did a beautiful job with this Ruth. That owl stamp is gorgeous. Just from your description, that candle sounds like it would smell wonderful! Best, Curt
