Rick’s boss’s wife was sick. I wanted to give her some German chocolate…German chocolate makes everything better. 🙂
So I bought another candle holder and filled it in different kind of German chocolates. I love that I can some German chocolates in the commisary. To dress it up I added Olive Silk Ribbon from May Arts and a layered tag.
For the tag I cut three different size leaves out of a Manila file folder with the Maple Leaf dies from Spellbinders. Those are only available until the end of the month. I am glad I got them. They look so pretty. For the biggest leaf, I folded some of the manila folder in half and cut the leaf so it wasn’t cut at the stem and create a card. Each leaf was sponged with Fired Brick, Scattered Straw and a touch of Peeled Paint Distress ink. I stamped Floral Edge over the leaf in Scattered Straw. The sentiment is from Verve’s stamp set Wishing You in Walnut Stain ink. For a finishing touch I added Crackle Accent over the leaves.
The inside was sponged the same way. The rest of the sentiment was stamped inside. And here is the finished candle holder. I know it’s not the best shot. I tried to shoot it out of my front door.
And yes, I know….Ghiradelli isn’t German chocolate….but I thought it would fit good with the colors of the other chocolates I chose.
Have a great day! Hugs and smiles

Wonderful gift idea, Beate! I’m sure she will enjoy it and chocolate will help her on the road to recovery 😉

LOL on the ‘not’ german chocolates…this is a beautiful gift. You have very much inspired me with your sponging Beate…and in a few I will be posting my firsts in sponging. TFS!!
absolutely love these leaves and what you did with them and the container is just stunning. That would make anyone feel better.
Ooohhhh… so beautiful. I wish to try this myself. What ink brand did you use? Thank you for your wonderful creation.
