This was really fun to make. My sister sent me a picture of a couple she made and they really inspired me! I only had to wait until I could find the tea lights on the cheap. I checked all the local craft stores and they were pretty expensive. I went to the Dollar Store and I found a 3-pack!! This was a few weeks ago and I only picked up two packs (dummy). I wish I had grabbed the lot, cause I love making these little cuties.
The first one took me a long time because I had to get the measurements just right with the scallop circles. I cut two 2 in scalloped circles on my Shilouette. I took one of the circles and folded it in half , and then in half again. I then snipped the point with scissors to make the hole for the flame. I inked the circle before I put it over the flame and gave it a good rub down to make the crease around the top part of the cake.I glued ric-rack to the bottom along with the other scalloped circle. The roses are mini paper ones that I inked with the same ink as the scalloped circles. The butterfly I punched from white card stock and inked with same ink. The banner I printed out in lollipop font size 11 on my printer and inked with the same color. Now to make a boyish one....
