The link is not working-- but you stamp from left to right and roll your wrist to curve the stamp around the candle.  It would be so pretty with a dark candle and white ink!

Butterflies Are Beautiful

Are you enamoured with Butterflies? Does your wedding invitation include a beautiful Butterfly brooch? Then we think we have an idea for you! Why not decorate the cocktail area with as many of these Butterfly Candles as you can. Because they are floating candles, you could think of a thousand different ways to display them. The good news is that they only last up to 45 minutes - just in time for the guests to be seated. Each floating butterfly candle is hand painted in painstaking detail and with glitter edging. They come packaged in a clear box ready to give as a wedding favor too. They measure approximately 2 1/2"wide x 2"tall and come in orange, green, pink and blue. See more great ideas.
