Art Deco Tea-Light Candle Card

This little project was something I had in mind to do at Christmas, just never had the time, so thought I'd make one for my mum for Mothers Day instead !! Using 12" x 12" card, I found the template fairly easy to follow, but suggest using scrap paper first, so not to waste your best card stock !! I have enclosed a photo of the template, if you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy crafting Jo,
