This is a gift basket made for a man as a Christmas gift for his wife before I set everything in the basket. It has a set of 4 marble tumbled tile coasters, five stamped candles of varying sizes, a post-it note holder, a covered notebook, matching matches and two different sizes of glass votive holders (not shown as they didn't fit in the basket). I also could not get the glass items to dry and would love some advice on this. I used stazon ink and permanent pigments, tried several times to heat set with the heat gun and set them on a warm stovetop. They never really dried. I even shrink wrapped the basket - easier than I thought it woulod be. Both recipients loved their baskets - the other was done with the Sunflower Serenade set and is equally beautiful. The candles are wrapped which doesn't give a great view of them, but I didn't want them to get marred in any way. These are my first uploads.

What wonderful gifts. You put a lot of work into these sets. Thanks for sharing these! (Had the same problem with pigment ink on a tin, still wet and that was weeks ago!)
