Freebie Bentley Bear Stamp and Embossing Folder!

Hi everyone! Hubby is busy mowing the lawn while i have been crafting with my freebies.
I bought a Cards and Papercraft magazine yesterday and inside was a fabulously cute Bentley Bear stamp and a daisy embossing folder.
So here's what i made!
A Gift Bag and Candle
For the bag, i got a plain green bag and accessorised using the same colour. I embossed a piece of card and coloured with my Flexmarkers and chalks.
Stamped Bentley Bear on to a piece of card, coloured with Promarkers and mat and layered using my Spellbinders labels. I stamped and cut out the sentiment with my Spellbinders ribbon tag and slotted through some ribbon. The flower is foam and is from my craft stash.
___________________________
Now The Candle
For my tutorial on how to apply a stamped image onto a candle click HERE
Applied the same stamped image, added a foamy smile sentiment to the front and the stamped sentiment to the back. Wrapped in plastic and finished off with a piece of matching ribbon.
