I saw these on stampin connection and knew I had to make some. I bought some flashing from Home Depot and used the Bigz XL flower die. After I ran it through the big shot I embossed it with the Swiss dots EF. Easy! TFL.

Love how this looks. Do the edges become smooth when you cut it with the die? I know that flashing can be pretty sharp on the edges. These would make really cute Christmas gifts.

Very clever to run it through the embossing folder! I bought some aluminum flashing at Menard's, but I'm a little leary to try it, I would hate to ruin a $40 + die! But, this may have just pushed me over the edge. TFS!

I used score tape to adhere the flower layers, and a couple of mini glue dots for the tealight (that way it is only temporarily adhered). Thanks for the comments.
