I love candles during the holidays. They do so much to set a more relaxed mood. This is a very quick and easy project to add a Holiday touch to plain tea light candle holders.

I really like this stamp artist – her designs are whimsical but still elegant. I also used the leaf stamps from the Damask Floral clear set (by the same artist), but you could...
